You'll need to update contrib/gcc_update, which references
gcc/intl/plural.[cy].

(plural.c is in CVS since bootstrap on systems with libintl in libc won't
create it for the release tarballs; it would be nice for this to get fixed
at some point, whether through arranging for the directory always to get
built but not always to get used, or through having the release script
configure with --with-included-gettext.)
