I have an automake project with a 'po' subdirectory whose contents, including Makefile.in.in, is entirely generated by gettext. 'po' is in my top level Makefile.am's SUBDIRS.

When I add an AM_EXTRA_RECURSIVE_TARGETS entry, say 'foo', automake tries to recurse into po and 'make foo', and of course this doesn't work.

Is there a way around this?
