hello,
on my linuxbox making of the directory /po failed due an incompatible 
Makefile with msgfmt. possibly it is an old version of msgfmt. there where 
two things i had to change. 

my versions:
=> wget-1.8.1.src
=> msgfmt-1.3.src

error 1):

$>make
file=./`echo be | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH msgfmt -o $file be.po
usage: msgfmt [ -dv ] [ - ] [ name ... ]
./be.gmo: No such file or directory
make: *** [be.gmo] Error 2

error 2):

$>make
file=./`echo be | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
  && rm -f $file && PATH=../src:$PATH msgfmt $file be.po
./be.gmo: No such file or directory
make: *** [be.gmo] Error 2

my fix:
(the old lines are commented out)

#.po.mo:
#       $(MSGFMT) -o $@ $<
.po.mo:
        $(MSGFMT) $@ $<

#.po.gmo:
#       file=$(srcdir)/`echo $* | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
#         && rm -f $$file && $(GMSGFMT) -o $$file $<
.po.gmo:
        file=$(srcdir)/`echo $* | sed 's,.*/,,'`.gmo \
          && rm -f $$file && $(GMSGFMT) $<

hope it helps to someone.
