After installing the latest dnf, dnf install gcc produced the following error:

-------------------------------------------------------

Running scriptlet: info-7.0.2-1.ppc                                                                                                                         16/26
Could not load program /sbin/install-info:
        Dependent module /opt/freeware/lib64/libintl.a(libintl.so.8) could not be loaded.
Could not load module /opt/freeware/lib64/libintl.a(libintl.so.8).
System error: No such file or directory
Please check that /etc/info-dir does exist.

------------------------------------------------------

lib32 has the libintl.so.8 contained in the libintl.a archive

Where can you pickup the /opt/freeware/lib64/libintl.a ?

After running DNF upgrade python3, dnf will not run because of the following errors:

dnf info python3
Could not load program /opt/freeware/bin/python3.9:
Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libpython3.9.a[libpython3.9.so] because:
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so (number 284) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a[libintl.so.8].
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so (number 285) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a[libintl.so.8].

Running just "python3" gives the following errors:

 python3
Could not load program python3:
Symbol resolution failed for /opt/freeware/lib/libpython3.9.a[libpython3.9.so] because:
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXI_libintl_so (number 284) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a[libintl.so.8].
        Symbol _GLOBAL__AIXD_libintl_so (number 285) is not exported from dependent
          module /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a[libintl.so.8].

Doing a search of /opt for libintl.a

/opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a

/usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a
/opt/freeware/lib64/libintl.a

An ls -l on both:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     system       411692 Oct 20 2022 /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a

-r-xr-xr-x    1 root     system       452008 Jun 28 2022  /usr/opt/rpm/lib/libintl.a

-rw-r--r--    1 root     system       217706 Oct 20 2022  /opt/freeware/lib64/libintl.a

moving /usr/lib/libintl.a to /usr/lib/libintl.a_rpm

and

ln -s /opt/freeware/lib/libintl.a /usr/lib/libintl.a

fixes the dnf problem
