Re: printf "%c" behavious

[G. Vamsee Krishna]

Well, if printf mimics C's printf, it's got to print 'A' :-)
Also, I'm having some trouble with my patch. I've applied the patch and 
did a "make". Now, in my coreutils/src/, I have the executables. "printf" 
is working fine, as I expected it to work. Now, when I do a "make 
install", it's getting installed to /usr/local/bin (Fedora Core 2 system).
Now, I got a printf in /usr/bin...I deleted it and added /usr/local/bin to 
my path. `printf "%c" 65' is still outputting '6' but 
`/usr/local/bin/printf "%c" 65' is giving 'A'. Any idea what's going 
wrong?
