  One of the ways that Manx has cut down the minimum size of a program is by
cutting the %f handling out of the standard printf in the c library.  To get
%f handling back, simply link with -lm BEFORE your -lc in your link statement.
This will bring in a different copy of printf that DOES handle %f!

by the way, the -lm means "link with the math library" where the other printf
is kept.
