Detecting code issues using multiple architectures

Sometimes building the same code on multiple architectures is useful to detect horrors like:

ExEnv::err0() << sprintf("AtomInfo: invalid name: %s\n",name.c_str());

This code builds using -Werror=format-security with only a few warnings on most architectures, while GCC is correctly detects the issue on some others.

This has been reported as bug#728249.
