Is this message trying to be funny? As the German translator, I got the
abbreviation, but according to a Google search the GCC source code is the only
place where it is used.

I don't think that elves and dwarfs only live in Middle Earth, and that the
diagnostic thus discriminates elves living in other parts of the world of the
universe, whichever is more inclusive.

Please add a /* TRANSLATORS */ comment above this message, detailing how close
to the words I should translate this message or whether a simple "There are no
elfs in this forest" is enough.  No, I don't have humor.  This is GCC, not an
RPG, so I strongly prefer clear, actionable diagnostics.
