pinboost_debug.cc:98:17: error: ‘%s’ directive writing up to 1023 bytes into a region of size 999 [-Werror=format-overflow=]

After doing exactly by tutorial for Sniper-7.2 i encountered with this error during make.
i am running on Linux localhost 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u1 (2019-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux
and the gcc is gcc version 8.3.0 (Debian 8.3.0-6)
the output of make in sniper directory is:

Building for x86 (intel64)

How to overcome with this error?

I don't see the involvement of bcal in this error. This looks like a sniper compilation issue.
