I've managed to get it working with GNU gettext. The problem is that
httpd links to wrong libintl.so. You can change it with LD_PRELOAD
env variable. httpd must be linked with -R flag pointing to GNU
libintl.so. Othwerwise it won't work.

This is the line form my /etc/init.d/apache script

status=`LD_PRELOAD=libintl.so ${BASEDIR}/sbin/apachectl $1 2>&1`

Both PHP and Apache are build with GNU gettext and libiconv.

Hope this helps
