I am not sure why this is, but it seems that configure is not finding gtk+
or gdk, or is finding them and not linking them in.  You maybe could try
checking your config.log for more info or rm config.cache and rerun
autogen.sh and see what happens.  As for the po thing, I am not sure, but
I suspect that the mv should really be a cp so that the source file
doesn't get removed after the first build, but I am also not certain about
this.
