note that sprintf behaviour changed observably such that it
breaks existing code (although not standard conform code).

this may be worth fixing before the release?
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-12/msg00634.html

(since it breaks spec2006 and spec2017 and there is no
cmdline flag that allows working this around anybody
who runs spec with glibc will be affected and i think
spec does not fix issues like this.)
