Aha, I hadn't seen that before, you mean this line in debuginfod.cxx:

  // #include <libintl.h> // not until it supports C++ << better

I think it is nice if all elfutils tools would use the same
print_version function so --version always produces the same thing.

I think that is the only "real" thing in debuginfod.cxx that uses
localization and I don't believe anybody actually submitted a
translation of that notice.

If so (you'll have to double check) and it makes things easier/cleaner
for debuginfod then you could remove the gettext call from
print_version and remove the textdomain calls (please also remove the
commented out include). Especially if Frank (fche) agrees.

But if it is all the same, then I would simply add the include for
libintl.h and remove or update the comment to say this is just form
calling textdomain for some C helper functions, but isn't used in the
C++ code (yet).

Cheers,

Mark
