Ah, yes, sorry.  I'm getting this as well.  Same with the BFD trunk.

This tweak should fix it.

	* gettext.m4: Test po/POTFILES.in exists before trying to read.

Anybody have any objections to installing this?

Erhm...  IIRC, this file is imported from the GNU gettext
distribution, so I'd rather not needlessly diverge.  Anyway, what's
the point of having a `po' directory if it doesn't contain
POTFILES.in?

bfd/po is a little unusual in that is has SRC-POTFILES.in and
BLD-POTFILES.in rather than plain POTFILES.in.  The bug has already
been fixed in getttext-0.10.40, and as far as diverging goes, it
looks like our gettext.m4 is very old (serial 3 vs. serial 10).

I'm applying this simpler patch.  I realised the -d test was redundant
10 seconds after sending my last email. :-(
