attribute. It is like the existing "printf" archetype, except that
it doesn't complain if the format string is a null pointer. See
the node "Function Attributes" in the GCC info pages if you don't
know what this is all about.
This change will allow us to add format string checking for the
err(3) family of functions.
non-i386, non-unix, and generatable files have been trimmed, but can easily
be added in later if needed.
gcc-2.7.2.1 will follow shortly, it's a very small delta to this and it's
handy to have both available for reference for such little cost.
The freebsd-specific changes will then be committed, and once the dust has
settled, the bmakefiles will be committed to use this code.
