Oh! I wasn't aware it was a convention.
In any case, we must do something to work around the compiler problem.
How about just removing the N_() call, then? We can't assume it to
result a string constant, can we?
In your original message, you didn't mention why the Digital Unix
compiler failed. What is the actual problem here? The N_ macro
should normally just return its argument.
