This one bit me too, but I did figure out how to fix it.  It turns out
that gnc-splash.c was moved from one directory to another recently, and
the po/POTFILES.in file still references the old location.

To fix, use the make-gnucash-potfiles script in the top-level source
directory.  (I had to say "make make-gnucash-potfiles" to generate it.)
Then:
    ./make-gnucash-potfiles > po/POTFILES.in
After this, I did another round of "./autogen.sh && make", which was
successful.

I think the proper long-term fix is to commit a new version of
POTFILES.in to CVS.  Will anyone with CVS access do so?
