error_print parses the error message and replaces %L and %C by the special
string.

However, this clashes with translations, if the order of arguments is changed:

>From gcc/po/de.po:
#: fortran/module.c:3369
#, no-c-format
msgid "Symbol '%s' referenced at %L not found in module '%s'"
msgstr "Bei %2$L referenziertes Symbol »%1$s« nicht im Modul »%3$s« gefunden"

Here, the order of %s and %L is changed. The result at runtime is:

Fehler: Bei $L referenziertes Symbol »$s« nicht im Modul »$s« gefunden

Which renders the error message useless.
