This warning is harmless; the only effect is that you get less gcc
warnings about buggy code.

You can get rid of this warning by changing /usr/local/include/slang.h
to use

        _SLATTRIBUTE_((__format__(__printf__,a,b)))

instead of

        _SLATTRIBUTE_((format(printf,a,b)))

More details, please?

Depends on the system / OS and programming language (C or C++?) that
you are using. On which system are you seeing the problems?
