This is nothing to do with ENABLE_CHECKING as it doesn't affect compiler
speed, only building the compiler.  Obviously there should be such a
check, unconditionally (but we don't actually need to do anything to
support having more than 24 languages until someone complains, just ensure
that a clean error is given if there are too many languages or any defects
in or inconsistencies between the lang.opt files for different languages).
