I'm running into this, but during make of gtar 1.20 in 7-STABLE from 
yesterday. It looks like the command running is:

# ps -auxw | grep msgmerge
root     30762  0.0  0.1  4644  1528  p2  I+   12:45PM   0:00.01 
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge --update -q /dev/null /dev/null

Trying this command standalone reproduces the hang - nothing from ktrace 
or truss.

It *looks* like msgmerge is built properly:

# ldd /usr/local/bin/msgmerge
/usr/local/bin/msgmerge:
    libgettextsrc-0.16.1.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextsrc-0.16.1.so 
(0x48083000)
    libgettextlib-0.16.1.so => /usr/local/lib/libgettextlib-0.16.1.so 
(0x480b4000)
    libintl.so.8 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 (0x480d2000)
    libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x480db000)
    libm.so.4 => /lib/libm.so.4 (0x481d0000)
    libgomp.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgomp.so.1 (0x481e5000)
    libthr.so.2 => /lib/libthr.so.2 (0x481ec000)
    libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x481ff000)

I notice that this same command works fine on another 7-STABLE system 
built from src in late Feb. I'm gonna rebuild gettext and see if that helps.

Cheers
