 That's why you should redirect output to a file, e.g.
 {{{
 make &> build.log
 }}}

 v.what, v.out.pov, v.support, v.transform, v.to.db ) following warnings:

 I count 77 distinct occurrences (each one will generate multiple warnings,
 one for each occurrence of `__attribute__((format(printf,...)))` in
 gisdefs.h or G3d.h.

 Downgrading to "minor", as these are only warnings.

 They could be silenced by re-defining __attribute__ to an empty macro (as
 we do if __GNUC__ isn't defined).

 We could eliminate the redirection to libintl_printf, as none of the
 translations are currently using the %1$ syntax (which the MSVCRT printf()
 doesn't support, hence the redirection). However, chances are we'll forget
 to re-instate it if we ever need it.
