minimal reproducer:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        int r,t;
        r = sscanf("01", "%2x", &t);
        printf("scanf: %d  %02x\n", r, t);
        return 0;
}

should print

scanf: 1  01

but when glibc is compiled with gcc trunk on aarch64 it prints

scanf: 0  00

i will continute the debugging from here tomorrow.
