--without-gettext in phpinfo() means the "nls" USE flag was disabled when compiling PHP, this works here and on all other systems, the ebuilds/eclasses are all correct, in your case it somehow didn't pass the "nls" USE flag as active to the ebuild/configure stage. Try reemerging again... Best regards, CHTEKK.
