In particular, standard C does not allow a parenthesized string
as an array initializer. Some compilers, for example GCC and MSVC,
allow this syntax as an extension, but it is (obviously) not a
portable construct.
In order to avoid such a construct, for example while initialising
the array 'ignore_error' (builtin/add.c line 309), we simply
remove the parenthesis from the definition of the N_() macro.

For example, tcc can not parse this syntax.
Note that sparse issues warnings like the following:
builtin/add.c:309:1: warning: too long initializer-string for \
array of char
which is actually a bug in sparse that is tickled by a parenthesized
string initializer (it doesn't determine the correct size of the
string). Again I have a patch ...
