./orte/mca/errmgr/errmgr.h(135): warning #1286: invalid attribute for "orte_errmgr_base_module_abort_fn_t"
typedef void (*orte_errmgr_base_module_abort_fn_t)(int error_code, char *fmt, ...) __opal_attribute_format__(__printf__, 2, 3); I think the issue is that you can't apply attributes to the type def for the function pointer, but only to the particular instance of that function. At one time, we also had an attribute indicating that a function did not return. This would also apply to this function, but IIRC you cannot have multiple attributes (or at least, we used to run into problems with it). So I figured I would just let this ride for now and re-address it later.
