Have you obtained the latest gettext from ftp://alpha.gnu.org/pub/gnu?  
po/Makefile.in.in is now generated by gettextize.

If you do have it, check what the installed share/gettext looks like --- 
unless you already have the right tree structure, configure stuffs up and 
creates bogus install code.  If share/gettext contains filenames beginning 
with `intl-' then it's stuffed; remove share/gettext completely, then recreate 
it with subdirectories `intl' and `po', then re-configure and reinstall 
gettext.

I found that Makefile.in.in still didn't go in the right place even then, you 
will have to manually move it from the `intl' to the `po' subdirectory after 
installing it.

(Assembled GNOMErs:  the above is seriously weird.  But a look at our old 
gettext installation demonstrates that it has the same configure/install bug.  
Or am I missing something that is supposed to be obvious?)
