Initial Comment:
bindtextdomain() on NULL second argument crashes:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libintl.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
  char *ret = bindtextdomain("...", NULL);
  printf("ret=%s\n",ret ? ret : "nil");
}

Where is the source of your libintl3.dll?

This is a bug because the bindtextdomain() documentation 
says that a NULL argument is allowed. 
 
Quoting gettext documentation: 
  "A `NULL' pointer for the DIR_NAME parameter returns the 
binding associated with DOMAIN_NAME." 
 
Quoting glibc documentation: 
   "If the DIRNAME parameter is the null pointer `bindtextdomain' 
     returns the currently selected directory for the domain with the 
     name DOMAINNAME." 
 
Quoting the manual page: 
  "If dirname is NULL, the function returns the previously set 
base directory for domain domainname."
