Like I said, -CURRENT _does_ have an stpcpy.  If you do an nm -D
/usr/lib/libc.so.5, you should see a definition similar to:

0001d680 T stpcpy

Then, there should be an undefined reference in libintl.so.

I assume running gettext produces the same error?  If so, do an ldd
/usr/local/bin/gettext, and see which version of libc it's linked
against.  It should be /usr/lib/libc.so.5.  Also, make sure
/usr/lib/libc.so is symlinked to /usr/lib/libc.so.5.
