I believe you can use NO_GETTEXT=1 and NO_MSGFMT=1 (both must be set) to
remove the need for gettext and msgfmt.  The latter can be omitted if
you're not building git-gui.  You can see other configuration options at
the top of the Makefile.

I will note that both of these commands are required as of POSIX
1003.1-2024, though.
