Yes, in part, they seem to be binary incompatible (also their .mo files),
but as it turned out, I can simply fully remove gnu gettext and get
everything (almost) working, see below.

Yes, that works now.

But the .mo file is constantly looked for in the wrong place, i.e
with truss (like strace on linux) I found out, that

/usr/local/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gtk+.mo

is the place gtk (or gettext) expects this file, but it is installed to

/usr/local/lib/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/gtk+.mo 

The reasons, this is done, are evident yada yada, but how can I make it
work without copying a whole lot of stuff.

Bye,
Sebastian
