Well yeah, writing a wrapper functions makes the warnings go away if the
wrapper doesn't have the write __attribute__ attached to it; but it
doesn't fix the real problem, which is that we aren't using the
fprintf-posix gnulib module, and therefore, we will still cause issues
on mingw trying to format with %lld.

A better alternative is to instead use [v]asprintf (where we ARE using
the gnulib module, and %lld works), and print that resulting string.

I'll propose a patch.

I'm not sure either, unless you have recently upgraded mingw headers and
the headers recently added a gcc attribute to fprintf where it used to
not have one.
