Standard FSF GCC includes -Wformat in -Wall and we have -Wformat 
functionality *specifically and solely present for use in building GCC*, 
so this patch is quite definitely wrong and will inevitably lead to many 
bugs being introduced into GCC.  Perhaps you could explain the actual 
problem you are trying to fix.
