As Joerg pointed out, that is a library issue. Moreover, this is unrelated to
this bug since you wouldn't need to have binary constants in the compiler in
order to print integer constants in binary. That is, I guess you want something
like:
printf("%b", 2); /* Output: 10 */
but as the example shows you don't need binary constants to be able to print
integers in binary.
What this bug is about (and will appear in GCC 4.3) is to be able to write the
following:
printf("%d", 0b10); /* Output: 2 */
So if what you want is the first thing, then you need to write your own printf
or contact GNU libc developers: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html
