That probably needs to be 'always_inline'.

You missed seq_puts(m, "");

I did wonder about checking sizeof(s) <= 2 in the #define version.
That would pick up the cases where a separator is changed/added
in a loop.

Could you do:
	size_t len = __builtin_strlen(s);
	if (!__builtin_constant_p(len))
		__seq_puts(m, s);
	else switch (len){
	case 0: break;
	case 1: seq_putc(m, s[0]);
	default: seq_write(m, s, len);
	}
