Hmm, I can't remove msgfmt from my system, but if I put a `msgfmt`
script in `$TMP/path` that contains just a shebang and `exit 1` and do
this, the build succeeds:

---
PATH="$TMP/path:$PATH" make -j12 NO_GETTEXT=1 NO_MSGFMT=1
---

Note that `config.mak` is not read by git-gui, so you do really have
to set `NO_MSGFMT=1` on the command line.

Can you show exactly the commands you're running and exactly the output
you're getting?  Also, what OS and version are you running this on?
