    avoid bogus format-overflow error
    
    Seen on x86_64-linux Ubuntu 24.04.2 using gcc-13.3.0 with
    CFLAGS="-m32 -g -O2 -fsanitize=address,undefined"
    
    In function ‘sprintf’,
        inlined from ‘s_mri_for’ at gas/config/tc-m68k.c:6941:5:
    /usr/include/bits/stdio2.h:30:10: error: null destination pointer [-Werror=format-overflow=]
       30 |   return __builtin___sprintf_chk (__s, __USE_FORTIFY_LEVEL - 1,
          |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       31 |                                   __glibc_objsize (__s), __fmt,
          |                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
       32 |                                   __va_arg_pack ());
          |                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    Rewrite the code without sprintf, as in other parts of s_mri_for.
    See also commit 760fb390fd4c and following commits.
    
    Note that adding -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0 to CFLAGS (which is a good idea
    when building with sanitizers) merely transforms the sprintf_chk error
    here into one regarding plain sprintf.
