vsprintf() in __base_pr() uses nonliteral format string and it breaks compilation for those who provide corresponding extra CFLAGS, e.g.: https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/issues/27
If libbpf is built with the flags from PR: libbpf.c:68:26: error: format string is not a string literal [-Werror,-Wformat-nonliteral] return vfprintf(stderr, format, args); ^~~~~~ 1 error generated. Ignore this warning since the use case in libbpf.c is legit.
