I see that some *printf objects from gnulib are linked into builds even on glibc platforms. If that would be fixed by using a module printf-posix-no-fp, I would use it. (My projects rarely use float/double.) The code ends up in the *.a libraries, which sometimes is used to make size-based decisions which library is the smallest, so it would be nice to avoid this baggage. /Simon
