So, circling back to the very beginning of this thread where I worried
about all the compile warnings we get on NetBSD-current, I'm pleased
to report that HEAD compiles warning-free so long as you define
PG_PRINTF_ATTRIBUTE to "__syslog__" rather than "gnu_printf".

So attached is a proposed patch to make configure check whether %m
works without a warning, and try "__syslog__" if "gnu_printf" does
not work for that. (I did it in that order so that if NetBSD get
their heads screwed back on straight and stop complaining about
perfectly GNU-compliant code, we'll go back to selecting "gnu_printf".)

Any objections?

regards, tom lane
