Description
Even though printf does not support option flags, POSIX requires that it ignores any leading --, and it currently does not.
af@bloody:/usr/demo/ksh/tests$ builtin printf af@bloody:/usr/demo/ksh/tests$ printf -e -e af@bloody:/usr/demo/ksh/tests$ printf -- -e -- af@bloody:/usr/demo/ksh/tests$ printf -- bar --

Updated by Andy Fiddaman about 1 year ago
Tested using the builtin test program before and after the change, which showed failures before and none after.
Re-ran the whole set of ksh tests and otherwise the before and after output was unchanged.
With a patched system, I can now build openjdk8 successfully where it failed before.
