Only if you can explain how to teach gcc what it means for elog argument
match checking.  %m is a special case in that it matches up with a
longstanding glibc-ism that gcc knows about.  Adding format codes of our
own invention would be problematic.

If we really feel this is worth doing something about, we could invent a
formatting subroutine that converts XLogRecPtr to string (and then we
just use %s in the messages).
