This has been nitpicked to death, but another option is:

  "The input '%s' and output '%s' name the same file"
                                  ^^^^
which might be clearer.  But of course it's likely people running a
compiler understand what you mean when you say two paths are the same
file so this is just a thought.

Thanks for improving GNU!
