On a related note: ubuntu/debian's system gdb includes some half cooked
up gdb translations; I often forget it, and since a newly built gdb picks
up the system .po's, the whole testsuite falls over, tripping on translated
strings not matching the expected output:

$ echo $LANG
pt_PT.UTF-8

$ make check

I then just remember to do "unset LANG", and rerun the testsuite,
though I think this should be handled by our testsuite automatically
somewhere.  How does gcc's testsuite handle this?
(Of course, people on other distros would see this as well if we
had "official" translations.)
