  I see it on Cygwin HEAD native.

  One of those warning lines is generated when the arguments fail to match
against the format attributes on the prototype from stdio.h, and the other is
generated when the arguments fail to match against the format attributes on
the printf builtin.  You can get rid of the first warning by using your
NOSTDIO define (or just not including stdio.h), and you can get rid of the
second by -fno-builtin:

  This is kinda vaguely like the trouble we're having with the prototypes for
builtins disagreeing from user prototypes in pr41020.
