Upstream-Status: Inappropriate automake 1.12.x has deprecated AM_PROG_MKDIR_P , and throws a warning for that, and the warnings are treated as errors because of the -Werror parameter. These AM_PROG_MKDIR_P are coming from gettext, and the latest gettext code has not eliminated these deprecated macros yet. So disable the treatment of warnings as errors until gettext is updated to remove the deprecated macros.
