I also squashed this in (the error is user-visible, so it needs to be
translated and not use INTERNAL_ERROR).

'make syntax-check' would have caught this, except that commit caa805ea
(Feb 2010) renamed the function without updating cfg.mk.  And fixing
that caught a lot more, too; followup patch coming soon (under the
build-breaker rule).
