I get the following build failure with gettext-0.22 when building mate-panel:
```
make[3]: Entering directory
'/var/tmp/portage/mate-base/mate-panel-1.26.3/work/mate-panel-1.26.3/libmate-panel-applet'
/usr/bin/msgfmt --desktop --keyword Name --keyword Description --template
org.mate.panel.TestApplet.mate-panel-applet.desktop.in -d ../po -o
org.mate.panel.TestApplet.mate-panel-applet
/usr/bin/msgfmt: no input file should be given if --desktop and -d are
specified
Try '/usr/bin/msgfmt --help' for more information.
make[3]: *** [Makefile:1035: org.mate.panel.TestApplet.mate-panel-applet]
Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
'/var/tmp/portage/mate-base/mate-panel-1.26.3/work/mate
```

I've attached ../po as a tarball (po.tar.xz) and the template file
(org.mate.panel.TestApplet.mate-panel-applet.desktop.in).

Originally reported downstream in Gentoo at https://bugs.gentoo.org/908877.
