The fix is contained in gettext 0.20.2.

That looks much nicer, indeed :) I guess I'll see how well this works when the next release rolls round...

Thanks for the report. Fixed through documentation at
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=commitdiff;h=d09d707b7aa2d3333a0d98e442d444ce20b4a237

It is intentional that the examples programs use the infrastructure of the latest gettext release. In previous releases, they used an out-of-date infrastructure, which was not helpful to the users and caused maintenance problems. Done through https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gettext.git;a=commitdiff;h=a6ddfcde29e21e5aea09df579a4e3f658e3eaae4

It appears gettext 0.20.x cannot be built from git if you don't already have that version of gettext, but can only be built from the tarballs. Building fails with:

Making all in examples
make[4]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples'
Making all in po
make[5]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples/po'
make gettext-examples.pot-update
make[6]: Entering directory '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/shai-build/gettext-tools/examples/po'
/bin/sh '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/gettext-tools/examples/po/xsmallpot.sh' '/usr/src/gettext/x86_64-loom/gettext-tools/examples/po' hello-c
autopoint: * The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your configure.ac
               file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.20 but this version
               is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.20 or newer.
autopoint: * Stop.

This is, at the very least, unexpected, and should either be documented or fixed.
