The list of files for the backend's message catalog is collected with find, which also

src/backend/utils/ (such as guc_tables.inc.c) and the port/pg_sema.c and port/pg_shmem.c 
links created by configure.  Since the link targets are found under their real names as 
well, xgettext processed those files twice, resulting in duplicate "#:" 
references like

    #: ../include/utils/guc_tables.inc.c:410 utils/guc_tables.inc.c:410

This is an old problem, but the introduction of guc_tables.inc.c in PG19 has 
made it much more noticeable.

I propose the attached patch to fix this by restricting find to regular files.

LGTM. I tested in this way:
