On a NetBSD test box I have with msgfmt 0.14.4 v2.21.0 fails to compile.
I didn't spot this in rc2 because b3225a4183 ("l10n: fr.po v2.21.0 rnd
2", 2019-02-13) along with the rest of i18n updates gets pulled in after
all the RCs.
The error s:
$ msgfmt --version; msgfmt -o fr.mo po/fr.po
msgfmt (GNU gettext-tools) 0.14.4

msgfmt: too many errors, aborting
It's "fixed" by:
perl -pi -e 's/^#~\|.*\n//' po/fr.po
I.e. this is because of the comments being parsed (fuzzy comments).
The 0.14.4 gettext release was back in 2005, so presumably this is due
to some GPLv3 allergy of NetBSD's. The OS version itself is 7.1,
released a couple of years ago.
