Dear gas maintainers,

In the current sources of gas, you have the string

msgid "% operator needs absolute expression"

in two places (gasp.c:1552 macro.c:387). The the Turkish translation,
this reads as

#. Turns the next expression into a string.
#: gasp.c:1552 macro.c:387
#, c-format
msgid "% operator needs absolute expression"
msgstr "% işlemimi için kesin ifade gerekli"

Now, msgfmt believes that these are printf strings, and complains that
%o and %i are different things, rejecting the translation.

To avoid this problem in the future, please add

  /* xgettext: no-c-format */

into the preceding line. xgettext will then omit the c-format line, so
that msgfmt stops complaining.

Thanks,
Martin
