It means NetBSD's fprintf function is not POSIX/XSI compliant. In order to
be POSIX/XSI compliant, it should support the syntax "%5$s" that prints
the fifth argument as a string.

This affects only NetBSD and Woe32. To workaround this problem,
gettext-0.12.2 will contain a replacement for the printf(), fprintf(),
sprintf() etc. functions that support the "%5$s" syntax.
