Description:
The --set-variable option has been deprecated since MySQL 4.0 (in favor of setting variables directly with options of the form --var_name=value). This option is being removed in Celosia.

InnoDB source code still contains a reference to this outdated option and should be updated. This applies both to the built-in InnoDB and InnoDB Plugin.

trx/trx0sys.c says:

                    fprintf(stderr,
                        "InnoDB: Also the page in the"
                        " doublewrite buffer"
                        " is corrupt.\n"
                        "InnoDB: Cannot continue"
                        " operation.\n"
                        "InnoDB: You can try to"
                        " recover the database"
                        " with the my.cnf\n"
                        "InnoDB: option:\n"
                        "InnoDB: set-variable="
                        "innodb_force_recovery=6\n");

Please update this to:

                    fprintf(stderr,
                        "InnoDB: Also the page in the"
                        " doublewrite buffer"
                        " is corrupt.\n"
                        "InnoDB: Cannot continue"
                        " operation.\n"
                        "InnoDB: You can try to"
                        " recover the database"
                        " with the my.cnf\n"
                        "InnoDB: option:\n"
                        "InnoDB: "
                        "innodb_force_recovery=6\n");

How to repeat:
By inspection.
