   Oh!  I wasn't aware it was a convention.

   In any case, we must do something to work around the compiler problem.
   How about just removing the N_() call, then?  We can't assume it to
   result a string constant, can we?

In your original message, you didn't mention why the Digital Unix
compiler failed.  What is the actual problem here?  The N_ macro
should normally just return its argument.
