I'd recommend disabling that error mode if the patched sharutils still fails.
If disabling NLS causes the warning to disappear, then use the warning IFF
NLS is disabled.  (It should -- since the format strings would be constant
at that point.)  In other words, you would have a "compile only" test to
verify that other-than-NLS-translated-strings were okay.

#pragma-s, but that won't be happening.  That is much worse than "%s"-wrapping
the translated strings.
