[issue1489] solaris build fails because of 'msgfmt -c'

[John Coomes]

New submission from John Coomes <john.coomes at sun.com>:

The solaris msgfmt command does not recognize the -c option, so building the
crew repo fails:

$ gmake install-bin PREFIX=/tmp/crew INSTALL='/usr/ucb/install -c'
python setup.py  build
running build
running build_py
copying mercurial/__version__.py -> build/lib.solaris-2.10-sun4u-2.5/mercurial
running build_ext
running build_scripts
running build_mo
generating locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo from i18n/da.po
msgfmt -v -c -o locale/da/LC_MESSAGES/hg.mo i18n/da.po
Usage: msgfmt [-D dir | --directory=dir] [-f | --use-fuzzy]
               [-g] [-o outfile | --output-file=outfile]
               [-s] [--strict] [-v] [--verbose] files ...
error: command 'msgfmt' failed with exit status 2
gmake: *** [build] Error 1

The -c option to msgfmt was added in 9f9bbd33f71e (i18n: check format strings
when building xx.mo files) which so far is only in crew.

The following allows the build to succeed (haven't run any tests on the result):
