It seems to be from these lines in po/Makefile.in.in:

.po.gmo:
        file=`echo $* | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
          && rm -f $$file && $(GMSGFMT) -o $$file $<


Perhaps we should add a ./configure test to prevent this, it does seem 
a confusing error message. But what would we check for? I couldn't work 
out what $(GMSGFMT) should be.

Is intltool really necessary for building the .tar.gz?

(BTW, at least on Fedora Core 5, I haven't needed to install gettext-
devel, and there doesn't seem to be an intltool-devel package, but of 
course I have gettext and intltool).
