compiling problem po

Hello everyone
while I tend to eventually get a binary there is always a problem somewhere 
which should be sorted out prior to moving to 1.8

The problem seems to be related with the po directory. During compilations I 
tend to get:

(eno,gnucash)# make clean
Makefile:742: warning: overriding commands for target `TAGS'
Makefile:494: warning: ignoring old commands for target `TAGS'
Making clean in po
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gnucash/po'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/config.status', needed by `Makefile'.  
Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gnucash/po'
make: *** [clean-recursive] Error 1


(even when doing make clean). My way around this was the move the po directory 
in the SUBDIRS line in the top Makefile to the end; then the abort does not 
really hurt (not very elegant though)

After cvs update 
(.cvsrc contains:
pdate -d -P
cvs -z4
checkout -P
)
I get this (again its the po dir):


./autogen.sh --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-hbci --enable-sql
..
..
WARNING: More sophisticated templates can also be produced, see the
WARNING: documentation.
configure.in:1066: error: `po/Makefile.in' is already registered with 
AC_CONFIG_FILES.
autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.in:1066: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
autoheader2.50: /usr/bin/autom4te failed with exit status: 1
**Error**: autoheader failed.

I am using debian sid (current)

any idea of what may be wrong?

greetings

Eildert
