This happens each time we convert a C file to C++.  Since both the old
.c and new .cc files compile into the same .o file, autofoo is too dumb
to smoothly handle that for an existing build.  You need to either do
fresh build, or, in your build directory, edit
app/operations/.deps/gimpoperationmaskcomponents.Po, and change
"gimpoperationmaskcomponents.c" to "gimpoperationmaskcomponents.cc", on
the first or second line.
