Are you double sure of this? Your result doesn't make sense
because gcl internally builds it's own version of gettext
as part of the bfd build and finds msgfmt there *internally*.
This works for me on the MAC OSX that I have been using.

You should not have to install binutils-dev *if* you ask gcl
to use it's own built-in version.

You don't need to install binutils so you don't need
apt-get or yum.
