on this particular input, '6' looks OK. However, the question is why
'6'? Why can't we retain the original number spelling from the source

Yes, that would be 49152, no? It's quite a bit of work, I don't think
somebody will be able to do that in time for 4.7.0, right? I I were a
user of gcc, I would not be suprised to see 6 used, which after all it's
the historical printf default, I would find it much better anyway than
the current behavior. But I don't have a strong opinion, I already
unassigned myself from the PR, fwiw.
