fatal: cannot update the ref 'HEAD': unable to append to '.git/logs/HEAD': Bad file descriptor Not familiar with the issue but I think this may happen either if there's permission issues or with some FUSE-based filesystems (perhaps others). What filesystem is used for /var/tmp? I don't think(?) this is an issue with sys-devel/gettext and is just happening because USE=git happens to use git.
This may be better suited to discuss on support venues[1] first, it's difficult to help properly on bugzilla. USE=git works for me, but USE=-git may help if can't figure out the cause. That you're using rather custom optimizations (which I assume dev-vcs/git was built with) may also be playing a role. [1] https://www.gentoo.org/support/
