After thinking for a while I was suspecting gettext, nice to hear that 
you do so. Well, I tried to look for my current gettext... I've 
searched my system for a few of what seems to be gettext installed 
libs or utils (from the page 
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter06/gettext.html#contents-gettext 
). Here is the result :
$ sudo find / -name libgettextlib* -type f -print

Nothing ! I'll have a look at this : is gettext installed ? This looks 
surprising to me.

I Will do. The offending iptc was build using a plain ./configure. 
Since then, I've tried a ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared 
and the resulting iptc worked as expected (BTW, no problem of utf-8 
encoding).

I will investigate this and keep you informed. If I can't give you 
more information in the next days, maybe dropping a note in the 
INSTALL file could help others ?
