You misunderstand. The problem is not that gnu_printf is not recognized
by GCC, but that the underlaying printf implementation may not support
the GNU extensions. So it is pretty pointless to mark eina_log_print as
supporting the GNU extensions, if that it isn't true about printf. The
most trivial example of a GNU extension for printf from memory is %m.
