5.10.1-18 returns foo.
5.12.4-6 returns an empty string.

Pretty weird given the entire perl testsuite passed.  Based on
previous builds, the main problem area is thread support.

There is some glibc/perl issue.  Could that be the problem?

99% sure that something is fishy in your perl installation. The only
explanation to your behaviour is that _g() provided by Dpkg::Gettext
always returns undef.

What does “perl -w -MLocale::gettext -e 'print gettext(foo)'” return?

Doesn't occur with perl_5.10.1-18.  Fortunately, dpkg -i still works,
so it's possible to switch perl versions.
