Yes, masculine, not because count_t is masculine, but because this time I
cannot find a satisfying translation without prepending 'type' to the
diagnostic (and type is masculine).  But in Italian we treat the keywords
struct, union and enum as nouns even if part of a type-id, and give them
genders (not to mention giving them different articles!).

And I cannot imagine what cans of worms can languages that adopt cases and
declinations open...
