The messages in function readonly_error in gcc/cp/typeck2.c are not possible to
translate properly.  A part of the sentence, which might be "assignment" or
"increment" for example is passed to the function as an argument.  This
argument is then composed with the error message using a %s substitution.  But
the incoming argument is not marked for translation.  Composing sentences like
this also makes translation hard, probably impossible, in some languages.

Furthermore, some of the messages are assigned to a variable and then this
variable is passed to the function error().  The strings in the assignments
needs to be marked with the N_ macro so they are picked up by xgettext for
translation.
