I'm not sure of printf().

Maybe that should use the stdio.h and -lc of the device because

1) The actual stdout stream destination is fully platform (OS+device)
dependent.
2) The "inlining benefits" do not apply to it as it's probably
only used for debug printouts. Inter-WI DLP does not matter here.
3) It's an optional extension. In case the target does not support it,
the target just doesn't advertise it as a vendor extension.
