If gcc.pot is regenerated on mainline, the help information for options moved to
.opt files, other than those for the current target, are missing from the
generated gcc.pot file. A special version of options.c with the messages for
all languages and targets may need generating for the use of exgettext.
The same problem applies for lang.opt files on the 4.0 branch - messages for
languages which aren't enabled are missing from gcc.pot - though it can be
worked around by enabling all languages, if the system used has all the
prerequisites for all languages. If there is a safe fix, I think it should be
applied to 4.0 branch as well to avoid problems with missing messages there.
