g_string_sprintfa() was renamed to g_string_append_printf() in some version of GLib; you're building an *ANCIENT* version of Wireshark, so it might not have been fixed to call g_string_append_printf(), and the version of GLib you have might have completely gotten rid of g_string_sprintfa().

Try using an up-to-date version of Wireshark.
