Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I can confirm that there
is a reproducible problem here; however ...

... the GCC version is not pertinent. Yes, like you, I see the problem
when compiling your test case with GCC-8.2.0, and (initially) I do not
see it with either GCC-6.3.0 or GCC-7.3.0, but only because the mingwrt
versions associated with each of those earlier GCC versions were 5.1.0,
and 5.1.1 respectively; if I associate mingwrt-5.2.2, (or at least the
updated version of <stdio.h> from mingwrt-5.2.2), with each of those two
earlier GCC installations, I see the same issue propagate to all three!
The actual cause of the issue is that the changes to <stdio.h>, to
resolve https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/ticket/39224, cause g++ to emit
multiple publicly visible instances of vsnprintf(), each of which refers
to an extern implementation of __mingw_vsnprintf(), and conflicts with
its publicly visible vsprintf() alias, within the translation unit in
which __mingw_vsnprintf() itself is implemented.
The attached patch should correct this; please file a formal bug report,
at https://osdn.net/ticket/newticket.php?group_id=3917, against which I
may apply it.
