Makefile: MSGFMT="msgfmt --check" under GNU_GETTEXT

GNU msgfmt(1) supports the --check parameter which does various sanity
checks on the translated strings we're processing, including checks
that the printf(3) format of "c-format" translations matches the
original. I.e. that a "%s" isn't missing, or that there aren't
spurious or missing newlines in the translation.

Since Solaris msgfmt(1) doesn't support --check we have to wrap this
in `ifdef GNU_GETTEXT'.
