POTFILE changes break build when C++ not configured

2000-09-18 build fails: unable to find or create file
gcc/cp/parse.[hc] if you do not configure C++. These files are
not in the CVS and are only built if C++ is being built.

2000-09-11 snapshot built OK, so the problem is in the past week.

It looks like the change at fault is the one that added
stamp-check-pot which creates a dependency on the POTFILES which
includes the parse.[ch] files. But I am not sure - Philipp can
you let me know if I got this wrong?

Temporarily fixed on my system by commenting out the two files
from the gcc/po/POTFILES.in file. Building C++ takes ages so I am
not keen to start doing that; in addition you are supposed to be
able to pick which languages you want to build,
