  Yes, I know, and it should of course not
retard your commit.
  I was just wondering if we could try to avoid 
those construct in the future, but I am not sure there is a 
simple solution...

  In general, I was wondering if we could use
    ,_(
"gen_var_ref: LOC_CONST_BYTES symbols are not supported"));
instead of
    ,_("\
gen_var_ref: LOC_CONST_BYTES symbols are not supported"));

  at least for case that are shorter than 80 - 5(2'"'+2')'+1';') chars?
But this might be against GNU coding style.
