Reproduced the issue described in bz on my (old) RHEL7 with clang 3.4.2.

Reviewed-by: David Marchand <david.marchand@redhat.com>

Just to confirm my reading of the C version of pmdinfogen: the C
version formats those symbols fine with printf %s.
So there should be no need for a fix in stable branches, right?
