Follow-up Comment #1:

The space flag in front of an 's' specifier in a C format string is valid; it
is merely a no-op. That's what I understand from

1) the specifications referenced by
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/c_002dformat.html

2) running a test program

#include <stdio.h>
int main ()
{
  printf ("% s\n", "Hello");
}
