Here's one that abuses variadic macros and limits the number of
arguments to 19.

#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define cnt(y...)   _cnt( , ## y)
#define _cnt(y...) __cnt(y,19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0)
#define __cnt(x0,x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x10,x11,x12,x13,x14,x15,x16,x17,x18,x19,n,ys...) n

static void warn_on_slowpath(int argcount, ...)
{
        va_list args;
        char *fmt;

	// print beginning of warning

        if (argcount) {
	        va_start(args, count);
        	fmt = va_arg(args, char *);
	        vprintf(fmt, args);
	        va_end(args);
	}

	// print rest of warning
}

#define WARN_ON(test, fmt...)           	\
  do {                                  	\
      if (test) {                       	\
          warn_on_slowpath(cnt(fmt) , ## fmt);	\
          printf("WARN\n");             	\
      }                                 	\
  } while (0)

int main(void)
{
        WARN_ON(1);
        WARN_ON(1, "asdf %d\n", 7);

        return 0;
}
