Michael,

it appears that you need to update your 'gettext' package.
In newer versions the --tcl parameter is there:

msgfmt --help | grep tcl
      --tcl                   Tcl mode: generate a tcl/msgcat .msg file

I am using:
gettext-0.14.5-3

Older versions are seriously broken and Cedric found out
from the gettext ChangeLog file.
