[PATCH] Enable gcc warnings for vsprintf/vsnprintf with "format" attribute

[PATCH] Enable gcc warnings for vsprintf/vsnprintf with "format" attribute

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Applied to v2.4 - v2.6 wants the same change.

Against v2.6-BK.

From: Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>

Enables gcc warnings for the case when arguments to vsprintf/vsnprintf
function don't match the format string.  This helps catch programming
errors.
