I confirm that the error exists and breaks the build. I compiled 1.1.26
without problems on my Linux box at home (but this machine does not have
Gtk-Perl and the other Perl modules, so most of the Perl-Fu scripts are
disabled). Today, I tried to compile 1.1.26 on my Solaris box at work,
and it failed in plug-ins/perl/po.
Here are the relevant excerpts of the make log, which are very similar
to the log sent by Dominic (except that I did not use a base64-encoded
attachment...):

At this stage (when building the po files), the "blib" sub-directory
does not even exist yet, because it is only created when make is run
in the perl directory.
The error seems to be in the way the Makefile in plug-ins/perl/po is
generated. If you look at this file, you will see that gimp-perl.pot
depends on both ../Gimp.pm and ../blib/lib/Gimp.pm (as listed in
POTFILES). The latter is probably wrong.
Anyone affected by this bug can still build 1.1.26 by deleting the
suspicious ../blib/lib/Gimp.pm from plug-ins/perl/po/Makefile or by
typing the following commands to ensure that the file is created when
it is needed:
make (fails in plug-ins/perl/po)
cd plug-ins/perl
make (creates directories and copies Gimp.pm)
cd ../..
make (builds everything now)
make (workaround for bug #24077)
make install
But this is an ugly workaround, and the real solution is to fix the
generated dependencies in plug-ins/perl/po/Makefile.
