Thanks!

Btw. as mentioned earlier I could not manage to get this string and 
others translated in "objdump --help". My layman understanding is that 
this is due to the strings being in the "opcodes" message catalog and 
objdump is using the "binutils" one:

$ LANG=de_DE.utf8 gdb --args objdump --help
...
(gdb) b bindtextdomain
(gdb) run
...
Breakpoint 1, __bindtextdomain 
(domainname=domainname@entry=0x2aa0015b262 "binutils", 
dirname=dirname@entry=0x2aa0015b236 
"/home/jremus/temp/binutils-gcc/share/locale") at bindtextdom.c:320

Thanks and regards,
Jens
