Hm. Strange. Has to have been backpatched to the ancient debian I have
around. Unfortunately I can't easily "apt-get source" there...

The commit that added it to upstream is:
commit 44e9fa656d60bb19ab81d76698a61e47a4b0857c

(format_char_info): Update comment. (check_format_info): Recognize 'z'
modifier in the same way 'Z' was recognized. Emit warning for formats
new in ISO C99 only if flag_isoc9x is not set.

git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk(at)31188 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4

That's 3.0. Verified it in the 3.0. tarball, although I didn't compile
test it.

Well, we don't even need to toss it overboard, just live with useless
warnings there since we'd translate it ourselves.
