gcc only started permitting function attributes on function
definitions (as opposed to function declarations) in very recent
versions, newer than the versions included with OpenBSD. To be
portable to earlier versions, move the CUSTOM_PRINTF macro usage to
the function declaration If it's already there, then simply delete
the one on the definition. If the function doesn't have a
declaration, then add one, etc.
