This is an issue of removing libiconv, but not reinstalling glibc.
it seems you need to rebuild gettext and glibc in order to get this fixed. The
issue is that the version you have of /usr/bin/msgfmt is built when libiconv was
installed, then you removed it, and msgfmt still links to libiconv.so 

Reolution: emerge glibc + gettext again.
