Summary:                    printf & leading zeroes
Description: 
There is a bug when you use a compiler that packs structures/bitfields and
allows entries with less than 32 bit. See include/printf.h, there is a
bitfield that has only 12 bits. Our gcc packs this into a 16 bit unsigned
short. On the other hand the same struct printf_info uses an unsigned int
(32 bit!) for the same data -> this does of course not work.

I attached a patch that fixes this by adding the missing padding bits.
