That's quite a few... I've been fixing these as I notice them,
usually as part of related changes.  The most onerous part of
the cleanup is adjusting tests, especially under the target-
specific ones.  It's (obviously) not critical but I think it
would be nice to make the quoting consistent throughout over
time (if not in one go) and then put in place a -Wformat
checker to detect the missing quoting as new diagnostics are
introduced.  Do you think it might be scriptable?
