            Bug ID: 21732
           Summary: String-concatenated message can not be translated
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.29
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: goeran at uddeborg dot se
  Target Milestone: ---

In binutils/dwarf.c there is this code:

        error (_("Internal error: %s%d: LEB value (%#" DWARF_VMA_FMT "x) too
large for containing variable\n"), \

The C-compiler will compose the three strings to one, but when extracting this
for translation that hasn't happened yet.  Thus only the initial part,
"Internal error: %s%d: LEB value (%#", will show up in the po files.  The
completed string will be sent to gettext (“_”), but never found in the catalog.

The gettext documentation at
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Preparing-Strings.html ,
the last part of that page, has some discussion on how to handle cases like
this.
