It looks wrong to me here. The "but %s" makes no sense in English. There are
two sentences in the above error message. Do you need the strings split like
this?
gfc_error ("The procedure %qs declared INTRINSIC at %L is not "
"available with the current standard setting of %s. "
"Try a different standard setting option (-std= ) or enable "
"all intrinsics (-fall-intrinsics).",
sym->name, &sym->declared_at, symstd);
