Seems to have been an error when I was filling the changelog entries.
The libctf changelog should be:

       * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Define to empty to suppress Automake
       stating 'configure.ac: error: AM_GNU_GETTEXT used but SUBDIRS not
       defined'

... which also covers your latter comment.

This has the same rationale as the libctf change above.

These directories utilize ZW_GNU_GETTEXT_SISTER_DIR to get information
about where gettext is despite never having any translations of their
own, leading to the Automake warning above. 

Apologies for the ChangeLog confusion, it must've been late when I was
splitting and merging commits, and so I mislabeled and mismerged some
changes.  I can split this patch into two if you agree, and fix the
libctf ChangeLog entry.

Thanks, have a lovely day.
