Over the past couple of days, linux-next builds have been turning up
this compile warning
buildlog-1441309952.txt:scripts/extract-cert.c: In function ‘write_cert’:
buildlog-1441309952.txt:scripts/extract-cert.c:89:2: warning: format

This is on an Ubuntu 15.04 installation, with
jim@krebstar:~/linux-next-2$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13) 4.9.2
Naively adding a "%s" format string silences the warning,

but I won't pretend to understand the code in detail!
