can you not build WITH_EDITLINE=no, and get a mosquitto_ctrl that just
doesn't do line editing?  That works for me.

This is strange to me.  %f has been in printf since K&R 1st edition, I'm
pretty sure.   Can you point to standards and docs that explain this?

My usual plea, perhaps not spot on here: if some platform needs
visibility defines, then please limit defining them to that platform,
because in general visibility defines are also a request to hide
everything not required by that standard, and it ~always causes trouble.
Usually mostly-POSIX code needs extra defines only on platforms with
unusual decisions about hiding some things; the usual suspects are
illumos/etc. and Linux.
