Since those files are not used by glib-gettextize nor glib-gettext.m4, I
suppose you can simply ignore the message.

The m4 files except gettext.m4 were needed to compile bundled libintl,
which glib-gettextize abandoned long ago, and gettext.m4 only defines
AM_GNU_GETTEXT_*, which are not invoked when glib-gettext.m4 is used.
