Makefile and printf problems

[Neville Mair]

Canadian cross built on linux 
gcc 2.7.2 68k-coff
running in a DOS box under NT

1) When I change an include file the make doesn't 
   cause a recompile. In the Makefile I put .KEEP_STATE,
   no .make.state ( non valid filename in dos ) file is 
   generated.   Is this my problem? 
   Has this been taken into account? 
   Is there a work-around?

2) How do I force printf to push the same number of bytes 
   for each parameter or for each TYPE of parameter?

Depending on the value of the parameter, the number of bytes 
pushed changes. I get crashes (pointing into space) if I pass
  a string after pasing an int. 

If an int variable uses a calculated value it seems to work
since the optimizes doesnt know the final value. 
Casting other data types to int  does not work.

gcc -O3 -save-temps main.c
	This is from main.i
# 1 "main.c"
	 
int printf (const char *fmt, ...) ;

int main(void)
	{
	int x =123456;
	short y =1 ;
	printf("\nHello world %x %d %x %c ",(int)x,(int)y,10204050,'X') ;
	return 1 ;
	}

	This is from main.s
