I'd even suspect that e.g., GNU Make / Makefiles would be likewise affected by this. A solution for this in gcc, or in a few selected programs only, looks brittle to me. Perhaps it should be mingw itself that provides a _non-default_ replacement as option (similarly to __mingw_printf). Can't glibc be changed to not rely on this? /me hides. -- Pedro Alves
