Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/specs
gcc version 2.95.4 20010506 (Debian prerelease)
Unless the problem was fixed in 2.95.4 (which doesn't appear to be the
case, according to changelog), I think the source indeed does differ.
Replacing %d with %c does indeed produce similiar output as in the original
mail.
