FWIW: I just did a full rebuild of mn10300-elf and running under the 
mn10300-elf simulator, the test-case above works fine.  Note that the 
simulator is obviously seeing the read syscall.  The test also works for 
x86-linux.

By any chance are you using PPC?  There are machine-specific versions 
for vfscanf and vfprintf and possibly they are out of sync.
