Hi DV,

So far, I've been able to reproduce that only in a build directory
in which .gnulib is locally modified (i.e., when .gnulib is listed
in "git diff" output as being locally modified).

Once I undo that local modification (say via "git submodule update")
"make" then reports that I must run autogen.sh, as expected.  And
when I do that, it *does* run bootstrap and recreate po/Makevars.
