Re: regen ld/po/BLD-POTFILES.in
Jan Beulich proposed removing a commented-out file entry from ld/po/BLD-POTFILES.in. Alan Modra agreed the file needed updating and questioned why generated files are listed for translation. Modra clarified that specific shell script quoting issues in related files necessitate the explicit listing in BLD-POTFILES.in.
