FWIW, please try
  make all install

(just in case there is some missing dependency).

When reporting build errors that involve libtool, please also post the
libtool command line that was issued.  Sometimes it can provide helpful
clues.  In this case one question is whether
  ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link ...

or
  ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link ...

was invoked.

What does 
  cd gettext-tools/src && make c++format.lo

output?  What's the setting of CXX in the respective Makefile?

Thanks,
Ralf
