Actually, it's fairly close to what I proposed.  It even axed the addl after
the call.  The only weirdness is the subl/addl dinking with gcc.  I've no idea
what that is about.  Perhaps it is using that to align code to a certain
boundary to optimize the ret inside printf?  (Make it fetch at the start of a
cache line or some such.)
