Thanks!  I have one comment on your changes:

This is not a good idea, because it defeats translation.  For
starters, this format string will not be caught by xgettext and won't
be in the message catalog.  Moreover, ...

> +  sprintf (msg, msgfmt, 
> +	   bp_temp ? "Temporary catchpoint" : "Catchpoint", 
> +	   b->number, msgspec);

... this kind of assembly of a sentence on the flight is bad, because
it doesn't leave the translators an opportunity to see a complete
phrase, and thus the concatenation of 2 fragments translated
independently might well produce a sentence that is invalid in the
target language.

Please instead use the technique you used in another portion of the patch:

> +    printf_filtered (bp_temp ? _("Temporary catchpoint %d (throw)")
> +			     : _("Catchpoint %d (throw)"), b->number);
>    else
> -    printf_filtered (_("Catchpoint %d (catch)"), b->number);
> +    printf_filtered (bp_temp ? _("Temporary catchpoint %d (catch)")
> +			     : _("Catchpoint %d (catch)"), b->number);

Here, the complete phrases are used, and the small waste of space for
repeating the common part is well worth the gain.
