I'm using the 1.5 version of the C compiler. Maybe your problem is because
it is an alpha test version of the compiler?

For the main

	main() { foo("This %s\n","is it"); }

the compiler generates code something like:

	moval	$C_STRING_CONSTANT,ap
	pushal	9(ap)
	pushal	(ap)
	calls	#2,foo
	movl	#1,0
	ret

For foo:

	foo(arg) int arg;
	{	int *p;
		p = &arg;
		printf(*p,*(p+1));
	}

and the compiler genrates something like

	movab	4(ap),r1
	addl3	#4,r1,r0
	pushl	(r0)
	pushl	(r1)
	calls	#2,printf
	ret

This seems completely correct and does produce the desired results when
compiled and run, i.e. "This is it\n" gets printed.
