There must be a version mismatch somewhere on your side. If the
package is using the corresponding gettext.m4 macro from
gettext-0.10.40, the elements of $(CATALOGS) and $(GMOFILES) will all
end in .gmo, not .mo. For a correct use of gettext (i.e. take both
m4/gettext.m4 and po/Makefile.in.in from the same version), your patch
is a nop.
