 lib/vsprintf.c:1945 set_precision

Hi Rasmus,

With commit (4d72ba0-lib/vsprintf.c: warn about too large precisions..)

WARN_ONCE is being triggered while running trinity 
$ git clone https://github.com/kernelslacker/trinity.git
$ cd trinity;./configure;make 
$ ./trinity --dangerous

Machine : Power 8 PowerVM LPAR
gcc : version 5.2.1
config : attached


In file lib/vsprintf.c at line 1945:
set_precision(struct printf_spec *spec, int prec)
{
    spec->precision = prec;
    if (WARN_ONCE(spec->precision != prec, "precision %d too large",
prec)) {
        spec->precision = clamp(prec, 0, PRECISION_MAX);
    }
}
