Minor code style issue with latest https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb.
There are three (harmless) warnings that clang caught. Essentially it is the
same pattern for all three, usage of ternary operator yielding format strings
with different number of arguments, whereby the last one is ignored for one of
the format variants.
To reproduce, just do "make" on a Mac with Xcode 7.3 installed (thus using clang
as the compiler).
