When building xfsprogs-6.3.0 with gettext-0.22, I get the following build
failure:
```
/usr/bin/gzip --best -c < CHANGES > CHANGES.gz
    [MSGFMT] de.mo
    [MSGFMT] pl.mo
    [SED]    mkfs.xfs.8
/usr/bin/sed -e 's|@mkfs_cfg_dir@|/usr/share/xfsprogs/mkfs|g' < mkfs.xfs.8.in
> mkfs.xfs.8
/usr/bin/msgfmt -c --statistics -o de.mo de.po
de.po:3087: 'msgstr' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'. Reason:
In the directive number 2, the argument size specifier is invalid.
/usr/bin/msgfmt: found 1 fatal error
2345 translated messages.
gmake[2]: *** [../include/buildrules:110: de.mo] Error 1
gmake[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
/usr/bin/msgfmt -c --statistics -o pl.mo pl.po
3104 translated messages.
gmake[1]: *** [include/buildrules:35: po] Error 2
gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
```

Originally reported downstream in Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/908864.

I've attached de.po. Let me know if more information is needed too.
