Earlier rms had sent me mail saying he was considering putting this
warning under '-pedantic'.  Whether or not that happens, the new,
extending warning is misleading.

% cat test.c
extern int sprintf(char *, const char *, ...);

extern int sprintf();
% gcc -c test.c
test.c:3: conflicting types for `sprintf'
test.c:3: an argument type that has a default promotion
test.c:3: can't match an empty parameter list declaration
test.c:1: here is the previous declaration of `sprintf'
