GCC mistakenly identifies a named parameter as a sentinel.  Given the following 
program, compiling with -Wformat GCC should warn about a missing sentinel on 
the line indicated:

#include <stddef.h>

extern void foo (const char *, ...) __attribute__ ((__sentinel__));

void bar (void)
{
  foo (NULL); /* missing warning!! */
  foo ("hello", NULL); /* clean */
}

When looking for the sentinel, GCC should skip over the named arguments first 
before attempting to locate the NULL pointer.
