I'm not sure when
 #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored -Wformat-literal
was first supported, but unfortunately, gcc documents that it is an
all-or-nothing choice that must be made at the front of each compilation
unit.  In other words, it's not something we can temporarily enable
around just the functions that need it.

Then again, since automake doesn't (yet) support per-file CFLAGS
granularity (only per-target, where target is program or library), and
creating convenience libraries around one file just to get per-target
support to disable a diagnostic for that file seems painful.
