How can I find the source of warnings in *Compile-Log*?

How can I find the source of warnings in *Compile-Log*?

[Eric Hanchrow]

I'm running CVS Emacs.  I've noticed that whenever I start it, it
shows me a buffer named *Compile-Log*, whose content is always

    Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)
    Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)
    Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)
    Warning: `error' called with 1 args to fill 0 format field(s)

I can't figure out how to find out what's causing those warnings.
I've been ignoring them for ages, to no noticeable ill effect, but
they're starting to annoy me ... any ideas for tracking down their
cause?

The *Compile-Log* buffer is where byte compiler warnings and error
messages are displayed, so something in your .emacs (or other
initialization files) is byte-compiling some code.  Usually the culprit
is a defadvice form that specifies the compile flag.

Those particular warnings mean there are 4 function calls in the code
being compiled that look like this:

(error "This doesn't contain any percent characters" arg-1)
