NetBSD has an odd mix of a BSD libintl and GNU msgfmt, so the library
provides both ngettext and bind_textdomain_codeset, but that has no
implications about what msgfmt supports.
pgfarm@netbsd:~$ msgfmt --version
msgfmt (GNU gettext) 0.10.35
Also, the man page for libintl says, "bind_textdomain_codeset() does not
work at this moment (always fail)."
So perhaps this platform is just a lost cause.
