1) Check the version of the gettext.m4 macro that you are using in your
package. It ought to be 0.18 as well.

2) Check whether the file gmorgan_0.50/config.status contains a replacement
rule for GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION.

If yes, then for some reason this replacement was not applied to
po/Makefile.in. Do a "make distclean", reconfigure, and look how
po/Makefile.in is generated.

If no, then possibly you are not using gettext.m4 at all? Did you pass
the necessary -I option to 'aclocal' before running 'autoconf' (it should
point to the subdirectory of gmorgan_0.50 where you have a copy of
gettext.m4)?
