I imagine that is the method intended by upstream (though who knows...the whole warning seems kind of stupid to me; it is clear that printf("") is a no-op, but it is obviously not clear that arbitrary functions using __attribute__(format) are).

The patch to do it is below, but I actually think an explicit blank-line function like:

  status_print_empty_line(s, color);
would be more obvious to a reader.
