That is because if you are starting bootstrap with an older compiler
that doesn't grok these, you get warnings during stage1, but those
should be ignored. When you start bootstrapping with gcc 4.9
or in stage2 and later, they won't show up.
That said, we probably need to teach new version of gettext about those.
