Thank you for the report.  I suppose you are building p11-kit from git
using gettext >= 0.20 (because msgmerge --for-msgfmt is new in that
version).

I forwarded it to the gettext mailing list and it turned out to be a bug
in that tool:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gettext/2019-05/msg00125.html

I think you could workaround this either by:
- applying the patch for gettext from the above link
- manually copying older gettext files from the archive, which can be found
  in /usr/local/share/gettext/archive.dir.tar.* in your case, or
- using ./configure --disable-nls
