You might be right here. A compatibility problem could be within the
configure.in file.

AFAICT, some macro (from aclocal?) is not working so that a variable
"CATALOGS" is not defined. This causes a faulty makefile to be built.
It could probably be fixed easily, but I have no idea how since I have
not found any documentation or howto's on autoconf and automake. Not
even man pages :-(

Anyways, sooner or later someone will find out what's happening and have
it fixed. In the meantime, bear with us and just delete the last line of
configure.in (as Jasper suggested) and you will be able to build the
CVS.The only thing you'll be missing are the updated translations, which
are none since the 3.8.16 release.
