Sure it's separate.

One issue is whether gnupg2 really needs 0.14.1 of the GNU gettext
package (because of a runtime behavior change, or because it uses some
of  the new tool options/features at build time).

The other issue is that expressing that one needs 0.14.1 in the
Makefile should cause devel/gettext-lib/buildlink3.mk to pull that in,
or there should be some way to tell USE_TOOLS that one needs a newer
version.   I'm a bit perplexed as to USE_TOOLS vs. the bl3; it seems
USE_TOOLS is for build time and bl3 for linking.   It seems to be
asking for trouble to use newer tools and an older library, though.
