Looky what?

There are _far_ more uses of __attribute__((format...)
than __printf(...)

I generally go with what's more commonly used,
especially when it's 206 to 8, and 1 of the
8 is the #define itself.

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] "__attribute__.*format" * | wc -l
206
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -w "__printf" * | wc -l
8
