I suppose making po.m4 support gettext < 0.24 is complicated?

I was going to suggest that since the problem only affects people
building from git (right?) we could assume people have gettext >= 0.24,
but seeing that so many usual developer environments still doesn't ship
modern gettext makes me think we can't do that.  What is keeping Debian,
Fedora etc on ancient gettext releases?
