It looks like output lines are being overwritten, which suggests that 
you have DOS line endings somewhere (maybe in git-submodule?).  For 
example, there seems to be a reference to line 88 of gettext.sh, 
partially overwritten by something else.  (Notice that git-submodule 
calls eval_gettext many times; the latter is defined in 
/usr/bin/gettext.sh.)
