Use-Free warnings
[info]voidref
The gcc maintainers have decided to add a really annoying warning to the -Wall list.

This spits out a warning about the compiler's inability to warn you about non matching format specifiers for *printf() in variable format strings.

This seems a bit stupid. It basically says "Don't use variables for format specifiers.".

Maybe if there was some way (without using C++, which I prefer anyway), to not ever need to create variable format specifiers, then the warning would mean something. As it is it just results in more flebbenge from the build.
