Adding address@hidden fails

User-agent: Gnus/5.110002 (No Gnus v0.2) Emacs/21.3.50 (gnu/linux)

I just re-read the gettext manual to work on translation for a
package, and I read this in the section about LINGUAS:

,----
|    It is recommended that you add the "languages" address@hidden' and
| address@hidden' to the `LINGUAS' file.  address@hidden' is a variant of 
English
| message catalogs (`en') which uses real quotation marks instead of the
| ugly looking asymmetric ASCII substitutes ``' and `''.  address@hidden'
| is a variant of address@hidden' that additionally outputs quoted pieces of
| text in a bold font, when used in a terminal emulator which supports
| the VT100 escape sequences (such as `xterm' or the Linux console, but
| not Emacs in `M-x shell' mode).
| 
|    These extra message catalogs address@hidden' and address@hidden' are
| constructed automatically, not by translators; to support them, you
| need the files `Rules-quot', `quot.sed', `boldquot.sed',
| address@hidden', address@hidden', `insert-header.sin' in the
| `po/' directory.  You can copy them from GNU gettext's `po/' directory;
| they are also installed by running `gettextize'.

I added those two names to LINGUAS, did a cvsco and re-ran autoreconf
and configure and make.  But it doesn't work:

address@hidden:~/src/gss$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jas/src/gss'
Making all in po
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/jas/src/gss/po'
test -z "address@hidden address@hidden sv.gmo" || make address@hidden 
address@hidden sv.gmo
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/jas/src/gss/po'
/usr/bin/msgmerge --update address@hidden gss.pot
/usr/bin/msgmerge: error while opening "address@hidden" for reading: No such 
file or directory
make[3]: *** address@hidden Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/src/gss/po'
make[2]: *** [stamp-po] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/src/gss/po'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jas/src/gss'
make: *** [all] Error 2
address@hidden:~/src/gss$

Any ideas?

Removing the two address@hidden languages make things work again.

address@hidden:~/src/gss$ /usr/bin/msgmerge --version
