Unfortunately it is not safe to #define vfprintf with arguments.

Consider what happens if a header file in /usr/include looks like
this:

extern vfprintf ();

Some compilers (notably HPs) will give an error because you don't
pass enough arguments to the "macro":

cpp: "stdio.h", line 216: warning 2005: vfprintf: Too few parameters (1) to macr
