This is unfixable, pretty much. It's because gettext (msgfmt) is linked with libxml2 which is linked with ICU which here has been built with libstdc++ from a newer GCC (12 here).

You can workaround with USE="-nls" but it's the same thing as trying to downgrade GCC in general: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Upgrading_GCC#Downgrading_GCC.

I think I was slightly brash here: I don't think LD_LIBRARY_PATH should necessarily be set for the gettext calls to e.g. msgfmt.

But it's somewhat low priority given the above and it has a workaround.

Heh, we did actually have a patch for this in the past!

$ find . | grep -i msgfmt | sort

./4.8.4/gentoo/20_all_msgfmt-libstdc++-link.patch

./5.4.0/gentoo/20_all_msgfmt-libstdc++-link.patch
./5.5.0/gentoo/06_all_msgfmt-libstdc++-link.patch

We just need to bring it up to date.
