This is a joke, right ?  The purpose of  gcc -print-search-dirs
is to provide information to other programs.  Its output should not be
localised.

If it is, then that is a bug in your compiler.  As a workaround, set
whatever environment variables are necessary to make it not be so
stupid.

Alternatively, can I complain that your email program does not
understand emails where I have translated the names of the headers
into Dutch ?  Should Germans file bugs against Xen, complaining that
they have to write the keywords in the xmdomain.cfg files in English ?

What about translating the name of gcc ?  Surely it should be called
something else in French.  La Collection des Transcodeurs GNU aka
/usr/bin/ctg ?  You'll have to help me here, as my French is rather
rusty.

Ian.
