[bug #39087] Various format specifier problems cause build to fail

[Graham Lee]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #39087 (project gnustep):

Thanks for looking at the patch. I've just checked the GNU coding standards
(and should've done so in advance):

> Don’t make the program ugly just to placate static analysis tools such as
lint, clang, and GCC with extra warnings options such as -Wconversion and
-Wundef. These tools can help find bugs and unclear code, but they can also
generate so many false alarms that it hurts readability to silence them with
unnecessary casts, wrappers, and other complications. For example, please
don’t insert casts to void or calls to do-nothing functions merely to pacify
a lint checker.

so maybe the appropriate fix is to turn off that warning, instead of this
patch :-(.
