gnome-core gettext errors

["David F. Newman" <dnewman maraudingpirates org>]

I was in the process of building gnome-core 1.4.0.4 on Solaris 7
and I'm running into a little problem in the po directory.  The files
zh_TW.Big5.po and zh_CN.GB2312.po seem to have errors.  I am using
gettext 0.10.40 configured with libiconv.  Are these errors in the po
files themselves or am I missing something?  I am new to i18n with
gettext.
