Otherwise the i18n is used in the scripts even with NO_GETTEXT set. It is very unexpected.

I usually disable i18n on my working systems as they are generally very out-of-date and not supported by any sane developer. In particular the gettext provided with this (very old) Cygwin distribution is fubar and never produces any output.
