Perhaps print an identifier using __builtin_frame_address(0)
to allow an external tool to reassemble complete messages?

maybe something like:

static void emit_log_id(void *addr)
{
	unsigned int i = 0;
	char id[sizeof(void *) * 2 + 6];
	sprintf(id, "{@%p}", addr);
	while (*id[i])
		emit_log_char(id[i++]);
}
...
	caller = __builtin_frame_address(0);
	if (prev_caller != caller && !log_level_unknown) {
		emit_log_id(caller);
		log_level_unknown = 1;
		prev_caller = caller;
	}
