           Summary: Incompatibility between windmc and mc.exe
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.30
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

  Target Milestone: ---

While trying to port some code to MinGW, I encountered an incompatibility in
windmc 2.30. The mc.exe in the Windows SDK handles a certain file without
errors. In windmc I get:

In PythonServiceMessages.mc at line 64: parser: syntax error.
In PythonServiceMessages.mc at line 64: fatal: missing end of message text.

Here is the file:

And here are some changes I made to the file to resolve the incompatibility:
