Ug. Let me guess, is this compiled with -Werror?

Because a warning about a macro that may or may not create printf
formatting, where gcc thinks it needs a gcc printf attribute and warns
about it, is not something to fail the build on.

For any build that fails on warnings, that specific warning needs to be
silenced.

I mean, "-Werror=suggest-attribute=format", really?
