also an solution, but you should also remove the entry in the
top-level Makefile.am:
SUBDIRS = ..... po ....

No, you have misunderstood...

on some machines or sitautions automake ignores the fact that the env.
variable POFILES= isn't defined, on others it would go ahead without
complaining about it.

Means if I would do the same (under bash) no complaining! If _you_ do
this it complains...
with the same files.

I´m convinced if you would do another workaround...
inserting in the first line of po/Makefile.am:
POFILES=

it would also work!
