So we need "MY_GETTEXT_IS_BROKEN" to decline the use of system gettext

that correct?

I think yes.

If that is the case, should we do something like

       LANG=C LC_ALL=C
       export LANG LC_ALL

in our shell scripts, when building for NO_GETTEXT target?

Just for the record: gettext here stays broken with LANG and LC_ALL set to C.
But the locale-dependent formatting in C functions will change. Wont be a
problem here, though. The named formatting is broken, too: strftime, for
instance, always formats in C locale.
