That's because nobody has implemented it in newlib yet.  Likewise, scanf("%a") 
is broken, as is scanf("%1$i"), and several other POSIX-required features.

I might get around to fixing *scanf in newlib, after my improvements to *printf 
are accepted (I'm currently waiting for feedback on 
http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2007/msg00363.html).  But if you want to also 
contribute patches, it will go faster.
