I think it's generally preferable to use the actual tracing
infrastructure instead of fprintf. This would allow to enable the trace
points with the command line options instead of only at compile time and
also to get machine-readable output if necessary.

The tracing infrastructure is documented in docs/devel/tracing.txt.
