Since these (*.gmo) files are built, shouldn't they in fact be in
builddir?

Perhaps the problem is with these rules:

  POFILES    := $(patsubst %,$(srcdir)/%.po,$(linguas))
  ...
          cp $(srcdir)/*.po *.gmo $(distdir)/

The *.po files are generated during the build, but are really source
files because (a) they go in the tarball and (b) they are modified by
translators and the changes that the translators make are '.PRECIOUS'.

Rich.
