This seems very implausible to me, given that the failure message
complained about errors on lines 1453 and 1455 of help_mp.h but the
Italian version of that file is only 1435 lines long. In order for this
to be the problem, something would have to be giving gcc an incorrect
idea of the line number of the header file; this is not uncommon in my
experience when using #ifdef, but that by its nature *reduces* the
apparent line number rather than increasing it. Is there anything else
which might produce this type of effect?
