multiple PO_FILES related failures with plasma release tarballs

[Treeve Jelbert]

I tried a clean build of the release tarballs on my notebook, having previous 
built the code from git on my desktop machine.

Using gcc version: 4.8.2
Building in dir: /usr/src/baloo-5.0.0
baloo5    5.0.0

ninja: error: '../po/it/PO_FILES', needed by 'po/it/PO_FILES.gmo', missing and 
no known rule to make it

This example is from baloo, but similar things happen with kde-cli-tools 
khelpcenter kinfocenter kio-extras kmenuedit libksysguard systemsettings


The main difference between the machines is the version of glibc, and of course 
the git builds do not have translations
