Ted emailed me privately by mistake.
There 2 issues. The first was a weird one with the shell's printf
which the attached patch will hopefully avoid.
The other issue is incorrect prompts output by rm due to its use of %zu
Ted could you give the output of:
grep gl_cv_func_printf_sizes_c99 config.log
Now coreutils doesn't make use of the fprintf-posix module
to act on the above test.
Jim attempted it for a day in 2007 but reverted due to "too many test failures".
We could easily avoid the use of %zu I suppose in coreutils,
as there are only a few uses really.
thanks,
Pádraig.
