 >> Thinking about this more and perhaps this is incorrect?  Or more accurately, I may have been using `DESTDIR` incorrectly.  I'm unsure.  I don't currently have access to the correct build environment but my best recollection is that I was using the `DESTDIR` to set base install directory for multiple working copies.  Of course, the `DESTDIR` is normally a staging install for the root directory (i.e. not normally visible during runtime).  I'm not 100% on the use of `DESTDIR` but perhaps you are?  Otherwise, leave this, and I'll adjust that build environment to rework the `PREFIX` variable instead.  -- [[ttw]]

 Also, the `po/Makefile` presumes the use of `make`, explicitly.  If you use another build tool it fails (ironically I was actually using `gmake` in non-gnu environment so it wasn't aliased to `make`).  Switch from the explicit call to the generic recall variable `$(MAKE)`.
