The po/Makefile.in.in rules have not changed in a significative way between
gettext-0.15 and -0.16.1. And share/aclocal/po.m4 did not change at all.
Therefore, just from your symptom description, I cannot even guess what
could be the reason. You need to show at least
  - an "ls -l" output of the po directory (the timestamps of the files may be
    relevant),
  - the complete contents of po/Makefile
  - a log showing the output of the "make" command
if you want someone to be able to analyze this.
