Thanks for the patch.  It still looks good to me; let's wait for a
maintainer to reply :-).

Just a few comments about the ChangeLog entry.

Capital "U" in the beginning of the sentence.  You should also specify
which functions/prototypes were modified.  Therefore, in this case, you
could write:

	* ada-lang.c (lim_warning): Use a shorter version of the
	ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF macro.

> +	* cli-out.c: Likewise.

And here:

	* cli-out.c (out_field_fmt): Likewise.

And so on...

Yeah, it can be a bit annoying, sorry about that :-/.

Other than that, your patch looks fine (and obvious) to me.

Same as in patch #1, please include the ChangeLog entry in the

Sure!

BTW, thanks for the feedback and help. They are certainly helpful here, 
and will be even more in another upcoming patchset.
