Should I have said: "How can GCC print localized error messages
containing (non-localized) C statements"? Are you seriously saying that
you see a hard technical problem here?

I assume that Emacs already has functions for printing and parsing Lisp
statements. Simply make them locale-independent. If you have to print
a localized string that contains a Lisp expression, insert the output of
the Lisp printer into that string. No Super-Turing powers required.
