Yeah, gdb has a bunch of calls to gettext but nobody has ever gotten
translations done or installed them in the tree. I think some of the
build machinery is missing too... hard to recall, it's been ages since I
looked at this.

The text here isn't passed through gettext.
Just wrapping the constant string in _() is enough.

Does add_setshow_enum_cmd copy the string that's passed in? I wouldn't
have thought so. If not, then this can lead to a use-after-free.
Instead help_tui_border_mode would have to be 'static'.

Here too. And similarly with 'static' I think.
