Public bug reported:

lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:        14.04

gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2
...

Trying to run a recent glibc testsuite (from glibc trunk) results in
testsuite errors because the compiler is overriding the -Wno-format
option on the command line.  Running the compiler with -v shows that it
is appending an additional -Wformat after the user option and that there
is no obvious way to override this behaviour.  This is a bug.

#include <stdio.h>

int f()
{
  int n;
  return scanf ("%llllld", &n);
}

The above testcase should compile when compiled with -Wall -Werror -Wno-
format, but instead generates errors for the unrecognized format
specifier (note that this is a deliberate part of the test).

gcc -v -Wall -Werror -Wno-format /tmp/test.c -c -o /tmp/test.o
Using built-in specs.
