Dear H.J.,

Please describe at least one of these problems in detail.

gettext-0.10.35 and 0.10.37 use the .gmo extension for compiled catalogs
in the package sources, before installation, and the .mo extension for
compiled catalogs after installation in
$prefix/share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES. This has not changed at all.
