Bug#110416: Error while loading 50gettext (fwd)

[Santiago Vila]

Hello.

I received this from the Debian Bug System.

The error happens when emacs (xemacs-21 to be precise) tries to
byte-compile po-mode.el and loads the 50gettext.el file, which is a
global .emacs file containing the following lines:

(setq auto-mode-alist
(cons '("\\.po[tx]?\\'\\|\\.po\\." . po-mode) auto-mode-alist))
(autoload 'po-mode "gettext/po-mode"
  "Major mode for translators to edit PO files" t)
(autoload 'po-find-file-coding-system "gettext/po-mode")
(modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.po[tx]?\\'\\|\\.po\\."
  'po-find-file-coding-system)

[ This is almost copied from the gettext manual, and adapted to the
  Debian layout ].

Christian also reports that removing the last three lines it works
again, but this way the functionality provided by them would be lost.

Are this .emacs file and po-mode.el incompatible with xemacs-21?

Thanks.
