Trying to read the build-scheme in binutils (must be the same for gdb
_ same src!)
it seems first that s/@PACKAGE@/%N-&/ in {bfd,opcodes}/po/Make-in
might do what you suggest.
But then I read in bfd/sysdep.h
/* Note the use of dgetext() and PACKAGE here, rather than gettext().
This is because the code in this directory is used to build a library which
will be linked with code in other directories to form programs. We want to
maintain a seperate translation file for this directory however, rather
than being forced to merge it with that of any program linked to libbfd.
This is a library, so it cannot depend on the catalog currently loaded.
In order to do this, we have to make sure that when we extract messages we
use the OPCODES domain rather than the domain of the program that included
the bfd library, (eg OBJDUMP). Hence we use dgettext (PACKAGE, String)
and define PACKAGE to be 'bfd'. (See the code in configure). */
#define _(String) dgettext (PACKAGE, String)
That type of game makes me afraid that I might have to change
PACKAGE about everywhere to become %N-PACKAGE
_ and have no idea what other sideffects this may have ..
Except if you have a better suggestion, I'm thinking of just using
update-alternatives (the .mo files must be identical..).
