Sorry, but I should have mentioned that. Of course I did a "make
install-fixincludes".  However, as far as I understand, this "make" then
uses the original Sun includes to build the gcc includes.  Since I
couldn't find a declaration for printf() in the Sun stuff it probably
can't show up in the corresponding gcc includes.

To make sure, I cross-checked for printf() in the original and gcc
stdio.h under ULTRIX and there was a declaration for printf() in both
of them !

Does this mean that gcc inherits the weaknesses of the underlying OS ?
I thought gcc is a fully selfcontained ANSI C compiler which then
should not suffer from such obstacles. Where did I miss the point ?
