I can't solve your problem, but I checked with the TIGCC guys, who agreed
with my initial assessment -- DO NOT use printf here.  Use printf_xy
instead.  printf is only offered for compatibility with PC programs, but
it's completely reimplemented if you use it, which will unnecessarily make
your program much, much larger.  printf_xy or sprintf can be used to do the
exact same thing without all this extra overhead!
