[Bug c/28492] -Wmissing-format-attribute causes warning for vsnprintf()

["h dot b dot furuseth at usit dot uio dot no" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The warning is a bit misleading,
  "function might be possible candidate for 'printf' format attribute"
means the _calling_ function might be such a candidate, not the function
being called on the line it warns about.

The warning is still spurious in this case though, and gcc could tell that:
A function cannot be such a candidate if it has a prototype without variable
arguments.  Here is another example of such a spurious warning:
