Hi Masahiro.

I did a little research.
update-po-conifg is broken in current kernel
The part of the Makefile that implement update-po-config hasseen very little
activity the last 5+ years
There is very few hits on google for "update-po-config", first
real hit was something related to a path I made loong time ago.

So it looks like the infrastructure could be dropped in the kernel.
I did not try to check if any other users of kconfig utilize this,
but I do not recall anyone that have mentioned this.

So ack from me to kill gettext support.
