This looks suspicious:

[ashalper@rocket app]$ strings /lib/libnsl-2.2.2.so | grep dcgettext
__dcgettext
dcgettext
[ashalper@rocket app]$ 

and on line 19756 of preferences.i (i.e. the preprocessor output of
preferences.c):

    message_error((__extension__ ({ char *__result; if (__builtin_constant_p
("Could not open `%s' for writing")) { static char *__translation__; static int
__catalog_counter__; if (! __translation__ || __catalog_counter__ !=
_nl_msg_cat_cntr) { __translation__ = dcgettext__ (((void *)0), "Could not open
`%s' for writing", __LC_MESSAGES); __catalog_counter__ = _nl_msg_cat_cntr; }
__result = __translation__; } else __result = dcgettext__ (((void *)0), "Could
not open `%s' for writing", __LC_MESSAGES); __result; })), filename);

It kind of looks like maybe a macro somewhere should be calling dcgettext
(prototyped in /usr/include/libintl.h) instead of dcgettext__ ?

Hope this helps,
