The output of a failed po-check rule (part of "make syntax-check)
was unnecessarily cryptic.  Here's the fix that I've already applied
in upstream coreutils:

        build: when po-check fails, say why and suggest a fix

        * Makefile.maint (po-check): Before, when this check failed, it just
        spat out a diff mentioning two temporary files.  Now, it tells you
        what's wrong and suggests a fix with a patch using the name of the
        affected file (rather than temporary file names) in the diff output.
