I didn't have this problem.  I tried configuring in-source to see if I 
could replicate it.  I got some changes to the m4 files, which I've 
committed.  Let's see if that solves the problem.  I couldn't replicate 
the problem with the *.po files.  I've run "make update-po" to see if 
that will make a difference.
