I don't think so.  You said that printf0 is just printf.

I would call printf0 a non-GNU extension.  AFAIK Gnu doesn't have it.

There seem to be 2 bugs here in Clang:
- Clang printf != Gnu printf, since Gnu printf doesn't allow null fmt.
   Maybe that is a FreeBSD extension too.
- Clang printf0 doesn't exist yet, or is too simple.  It is less surprising
   for Clang not to have FreeBSD extensions yet.
