Hmm. make check works as long as I disable test-lots, it's make  
distcheck that gives:

checking for a valid gettext/gmsgfmt installation... no
configure: error: Cannot find Glib Gettext.  Maybe you need to install  
the gettext package?
make: *** [distcheck] Error 1

however:
$msgfmt --version
msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.5
