I ran into the same issue yesterday, and I happened to have/keep 7
snapshots of /usr/local on an NFS mounted external NAS. I had to
manually copy the .so file ouit from the prior day snapshot, into
/usr/local/lib to proceed with the gettext (re)installation/upgrade as
described on 20141130 in UPDATING.

If you have a copy of that .so file on another machine/FS, etc., that's
how I got it working. Not ideal at all, and it doesn't solve the root
cause.

I'd also be curious how others succefully upgraded gettext from the
20141130 UPDATING entry.
