Joseph S. Myers says: Is this callback interface defined to take translated or untranslated text? If untranslated, there would be a problem with the callback knowing which textual domain to use for translation, so I'd guess it should be defined to take translated messages. This means you should be translating the messages first, using dgettext to use the right domain (which I think should be "gcc" rather than inventing yet another domain for a few messages). You also need to call bindtextdomain - see how cpplib does things for an example of one domain being used in a library in a program that mainly uses another domain (cpplib and gcc there, gcc and whatever domain the linker uses - it appears to be "gold" - here). Then gcc/po/exgettext needs to get the messages extracted for translation into gcc/po/gcc.pot.
