Description Joshua Lock 2016-04-28 10:39:55 UTC 
gettext fails to compile with compiler flags which elevate common string formatting issues into an error (-Wformat -Wformat-security -Werror=format-security).

Setting assignee to recipe maintainer. Robert, please feel free to update estimate, target, etc. to suit your workload.
Comment 2 Joshua Lock 2017-02-07 13:24:40 UTC 
Note: to observe the failures comment out the recipe's SECURITY_STRINGFORMAT entry in security_cflags.inc and build the recipe with a configuration that utilises security_cflags (i.e. the poky-lsb distro).
