[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 01/13] package/gettext-gnu: add msgfmt wrapper

[aduskett at gmail.com <aduskett@gmail.com>]

From: Adam Duskett <Aduskett@gmail.com>

The msgfmt provided by gettext-gnu uses a default GETTEXTDATADIR path of
/usr/share/gettext, causing problems with msgfmt, particularly if the host
does not have gettext development packages installed, or if the host has a
different version of gettext. Install a wrapper that sets the GETTEXTDATADIR
to ${TARGET_DIR}/usr/share/gettext/ to ensure that any package using the
msgfmt utility uses the proper GETTEXTDATADIR path.

This wrapper is not needed for gettext-tiny, as their implimentation of msgfmt
is written completely from scratch and does not use the GETTEXTDATADIR
variable.
