I'm not.
It could well be your Autoconf/Automake versions. I am using Autoconf
2.59 (Debian stable) and Automake 1.9.6 (which I installed).

My po/Makefile looks like this:
prefix = /tmp/prefix
exec_prefix = ${prefix}
datadir = ${prefix}/share
localedir = $(datadir)/locale
gettextsrcdir = $(datadir)/gettext/po
No datarootdir there.

No, you shouldn't, and shouldn't have to.
That po/Makefile snippet is derived from this bit in po/Makefile.in.in:
prefix = @prefix@
exec_prefix = @exec_prefix@
datadir = @datadir@
localedir = $(datadir)/locale
gettextsrcdir = $(datadir)/gettext/po
which you might want to check. Possibly it's a gnulib version
problem, as well.
