Can you check two things:

  - If you go into the gettext-tools/ directory and do "make" there,
    what is "make"'s output? In particular I want to know whether it
    recurses into intl/ before it recurses into src/.

  - If you go into the gettext-tools/intl/ directory and do "make" there,
    what is "make"'s output? Does it build localename.lo?

Other possibly useful information:
  - "make --version"
  - "sh --version"

When copying a .lo file, you also need to copy the corresponding .o file.
Take a look inside the .lo file...
