Yes, adding --disable-threads to gettext completely fix the crash!

(update-desktop-database itself remains still linked with pthread, comes 
from libicui18n)

There is still some undercover gettext problems remains although not 
fatal.
update-desktop-database -v
running with ru_RU.KOI8-R says at the end
Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/share/applications':
        ????????? ?????? ??? ???????? ???????? "/usr/share/applications": 
No such file or directory
Which with LANG=C means 
Could not create cache file in directory '/usr/share/applications':
        Error opening directory '/usr/share/applications': No such file or 
directory
All those ???? means that locale is not initialized and those chars are 
treated as non-printable.
