Title:
  -Wno-format ignored in Ubuntu 14.04 release

Status in gcc-4.8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
