Title:
  -Wno-format is not honored

Status in gcc-4.8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gcc-4.9 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Due to the way the gcc-default-format-security patch is implemented in
  gcc-4.8, disabling format warnings does not work:

    $ cat format-extra-args.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    /* printf extra arguments example */
    int main(void)
    {
          printf("%s\n", "argument 1", "argument 2");

          return 0;
    }
    $ gcc -Wall -O2 -o format-off format-extra-args.c -Wno-format
    format-extra-args.c: In function 'main':
    format-extra-args.c:12:2: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
      printf("%s\n", "argument 1", "argument 2");
      ^

  Earlier versions of gcc allowed disabling warnings correctly.
