another possibility might be to unset the locale, or set it to C

The g++ -frepo option only works with C locale, not with es_UY for example.
A possible test case is:
template<class T> class C
{
public:
    C();
};

template<class T>
C<T>::C()
{
}

int
main(void)
{
    C<int> x;
    return 0;
}

g++ -c -frepo a.C
g++ -frepo -o a a.o

If you set the locale to C, then it will compile, if you set the locale to a
non english one, it will fail.
I guess that collect2 binutils ld output parser doesn't recognise the
internationalized output (file gcc/tlink.c).
One possible solution is to internationalize the strings in
scan_linker_output() to match those internationalized in binutils ld.
