I get this:
    message_error(dcgettext ( ((void *)0)  ,     "Could not open %s' for writing"   , __LC_MESSAGES )   , 
filename);
    g_free(filename);
    return;

stracing through the pre-processor, it looks like on my system,
../lib/intl.h and /usr/include/libintl.h are read, while intl/gettextP.h is
not.

Which libintl.h is included ? 
what is the status of the following variables (as defined by config.h):
        * ENABLE_NLS
        * GNOME
        * HAVE_DCGETTEXT
        * HAVE_GETTEXT

In your top-level (generated) Makefile and in app/Makefile, what is the value of INTLOBJS ?
Does it help to apply this patch:

What result gives configuring with --with-included-gettext and
--without-included-gettext ?

I'm a banging a bit in all the walls I can see, because this problem is
above my comprehension (yes, these autotools can be tricky sometimes)
