Texinfo 3.11 is buggy (especially install-info which should not affect
your users though), take 3.12.

These are related to internationalization. po files are readable
(they're just a mapping from English strings to <``foreign'' language>
strings. They are meant to be edited by humans. gmo files are GNU
gettext native ``compiled'' form of the po files for run time, read by
machines.
