Yes, have you?

tar -xf grub-1.98.tar.gz
cd grub-1.98
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
#edit line 528 of Makefile as above
make

cd .. && /usr/bin/xgettext -ctranslate --from-code=utf-8 -o 
../po/grub.pot -f po/POTFILES --keyword=_ --keyword=N_
/usr/bin/xgettext: cannot create output file "../po/grub.pot": No such 
file or directory
make: *** [../po/grub.pot] Error 1


As I said before, the error is that -o $@ is invalid because of the 
change of directory.
