[Bug lto/41731] New: The linker plugin should support translations

["espindola at google dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

Joseph S. Myers says:

Is this callback interface defined to take translated or untranslated
text?  If untranslated, there would be a problem with the callback knowing
which textual domain to use for translation, so I'd guess it should be
defined to take translated messages.  This means you should be translating
the messages first, using dgettext to use the right domain (which I think
should be "gcc" rather than inventing yet another domain for a few
messages).  You also need to call bindtextdomain - see how cpplib does
things for an example of one domain being used in a library in a program
that mainly uses another domain (cpplib and gcc there, gcc and whatever
domain the linker uses - it appears to be "gold" - here).  Then
gcc/po/exgettext needs to get the messages extracted for translation into
gcc/po/gcc.pot.
