Well, yes, this I understood already :-)
However, my question was: Is this something that should be repaired in
gcc.pot, or is it something that should be repaired in the program that
generates gcc.pot.
Just to prove this point :-) I changed one of the error messages that's
listed in gcc.pot in the original program that contains this error
message.
