I'm guessing the application was originally installed on 4.x before
you updated, then you rebuilt gettext after you updated, so libintl
picked up the fact that stpcpy exists in libc.so.5, but your
application is still linked to libc.so.4.

We don't provide this kind of mixed 4.x/5.x binary compatibility, so
you need to recompile or reinstall everything that links to the
libraries you updated (or just recompile everything, which might be
easier since otherwise this problem will recur with the next library
you rebuild).

e.g. portupgrade -fa

or

portupgrade -faPP
