If you would like to see those error calls changed I'd suggest to file separate bugs for the parts of the compiler (e.g., the targets) that they appear in and highlight the occurrences you find tedious to deal with. If you would to make a plea to all GCC developers to follow this practice then bringing it up on the GCC mailing lists might be an effective approach. Since the error messages you list are issued by the powerpc target I've taken the liberty to set it for this bug and confirm it on that basis.
