Same problem here (on Debian Sarge). As a workaround, you can edit the Makefile in /po and /po2 and change "mkdir_p@" to "mkdir -p".
This seems to be a problem with some versions of autotools and was discussed some time ago either on the forum or the developers mailing list.
It would be nice to fix this.

It is fixed by using more recent versions of the autotools.
