I don't know if you still have this problem but I don't see anything in that
commit that could have caused this problem.  It's hard to track down
any problem from this email as I'm not familiar with Gentoo builds.  I tried
the configure invocation from your log (please don't send logs with escape
sequences in them if you can avoid it as it's harder to read).

 ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info 
--datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib 
--disable-dependency-tracking --disable-silent-rules 
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/texinfo-9999 --htmldir=/usr/share/doc/texinfo-9999/html 
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-nls --without-external-libintl-perl 
--without-external-Unicode-EastAsianWidth --without-external-Text-Unidecode 
--disable-perl-xs

(The build and host options were appropriate for my machine.)

I then ran "make clean" and "make".  Finally, tried

rm po_document/texinfo_document.pot 
rm po_document/*.gmo

and make again, which worked.  Also "make texinfo_document.pot-update".

You have an error in your log

> mv: cannot stat 't-remove-potcdate.sed': No such file or directory

I don't have anything in my po_document directory that has anything
to do with this file so it's hard for me to see the problem.  I wonder
if it is to do with different gettext versions.
