Care to revise your comment in bug 176171 about po-compat.el not being needed?

I think the problem is with the rpms... 
I can reproduce the problem with the binary rpms on FC5. 
But if I extract the tar.gz file from the srpm and rebuild emacs (./configure;
make bootstrap), I don't see the problem. Nor do I see it with emacs CVS HEAD

As a side note, IMHO po-mode.el should be included in the emacs distribution,
but this is something people that actually use it should try to do...

I think the issue is that it's not loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp because
the prefix defaults to /usr/local.  I can reproduce this from the tarball using

./configure --build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --with-pop --with-sound --with-gtk

This seems to fix the problem.

I run a build with this change.  Stay tuned.

po-mode works just fine for me now / in rawhide
