Frankly I don't like the idea of having the compiler rename printf() on me
by default... I think defining a macro that would turn ON the "tiny printf"
substitution would be better.

One thing I'm curious about, though, is where you got the idea that the
ANSI specs say anything about the linkers?  I can't find that statement
about the linkers having to perform that way at all.  If that's true then
none of the C compilers on IBM mainframes can be conforming compilers 
because the standard IBM linker (on CMS at least) will not link a set of
files with duplicate identifiers.... 

I think this discussion has passed the scope of this group... further 
comments should go to comp.lang.c....
