I see the following build warning when I build GDB with GCC trunk.
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/nat/linux-osdata.c: In function ‘LONGEST linux_xfer_osdata_fds(gdb_byte*, ULONGEST, ULONGEST)’:

cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
The warning is a false positive, but we can workaround it by replacing
sprintf with xsnprintf. On the other hand, it is always preferred to
use xsnprintf.

* nat/linux-osdata.c (linux_xfer_osdata_threads): Replace
sprintf with xsnprintf.
(linux_xfer_osdata_fds): Likewise.
