      I observed the following build warning when compiling libmongoc for PHPC:

      This appears to have been introduced in 370fc18 for CDRIVER-3625 and pertains to how TRACE is defined in mongoc-trace-private.h as a proxy to mongoc_log. The macro's msg argument is always expected but subsequent arguments are taken with .... Removing the NULL argument resulted in an outright error:

      If we can't fix this directly, perhaps it'd be best to simply suppress any -Wformat-extra-args warnings around the TRACE macro.
