It's really just telling you it can't do the normal printf format string
analysis because it doesn't know the string.   If the user can control
the string, then it can be a security vulnerability or program crasher,
otherwise, it's just lost the opportunity to check that your arguments
match the number & type specified in the format string, which may hide
other errors or may just be noise in the build logs you no longer want
to see.
