Yes, that makes DEBUGF() work. However, the resulting #define for printf
breaks ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF, like you reported here:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.w64.general/3554
It doesn't seem like MinGW-64 will be using the patch you posted.

I just tried i686-pc-mingw32-gcc because of the other response by Magnus
Holmgren. It works much better. The only warnings relate to format
specifiers, and z in DEBUGF() works without any additional defines. I
guess the best course of action is to use i686-pc-mingw32-gcc and not
bother fixing stuff for i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.

There doesn't seem to be any way to tell gcc that some printf-like
function supports a different set of format specifiers. Those warnings
can only be turned off completely via -Wno-format. Configure should add
that option that when Windows sim. Those warnings aren't very useful
anyways, because gcc doesn't know what Rockbox format() supports.
