What do you mean by "update"?
Is it because msgmerge is writing
  Updating **.po.......... done.
or are the timestamps modified?

I have:
make -C po all adduser.pot => updates all po files and .pot and creates
                              the mo files
make -C po all adduser.pot => leaves po and mo files untouched,
make -C po clean => remove the mo files
make -C po all adduser.pot => leaves po files untouched and creates the
                              mo files

untouched = same file with same timestamp.

Cheers,
