It has to do with the Makefiles gettext installs itself.
I already had the same problem too and I finally noticed that the files
in /usr/share/gettext/intl were removed. The work-around to this was
to chattr +i all the files in /usr/share/gettext/intl, this activate the
read-only bit of the ext2 fs.

To be clean, one should contact Ulrich Drepper, who is the maintainer of
gettext (and one of the glibc maintainers as well).
