Looking at the full build log you sent me, I see one big difference. In 
many parts, the build is looking for libintl, which is part of gettext 
(which is the parent of msgmerge). In your log I see:
```
checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... yes
checking whether to use NLS... yes
checking where the gettext function comes from... external libintl
checking how to link with libintl... -lintl -Wl,-framework 
-Wl,CoreFoundation
```

In my clean install log, I see this instead:
```
checking how to link with libiconv... -liconv
checking for GNU gettext in libintl... no
checking whether to use NLS... no
```

Do you have a copy of gettext installed elsewhere, most likely in 
/usr/local ? Things to look for would be the files libintl.h and 
libintl.dylib
