Of course printf is implemented in the library, not in the compiler.

gcc has had format checking for %wN and %wfN since release 13, but
that's useless in the absence of library support.

Support in glibc was added 2023-06-19 and released in version 2.39.
Other C library implementations may or may not support it.
