Errr, I stuck that there because I was under the impression that it was a
switch to link, the readme1st used the syntax '-lm' for linking in the
math library, so I added that to link in the 'normal' library.  Anyway,
moot point, I thought of that already, and it still didn't do it.

Errr, the libc.inf file at node printf:

* The conversion type specifier:

`c'	A single character
`d'	A signed integer
....
`u'	A unsigned integer
`U'	A unsigned long integer

But, I'll give your suggestion a try.
