Bruno has informed that the patch is available now 
from CVS server.

|The support for "xgettext --language=GCC-source" is now in the gettext

|You can check it out through the instructions given at
|http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gettext

Note that he seems to have changed the language name to

Happy Hacking,
