It's indeed in bits/stdio.h.

Is there a define available to see if I'm using gcc 3.0 ?? Older versions
have no problem with above code, and the #ifdef in printf() is massively
used in the programs I'm recompiling.

I can override the optimize to use -O0, but that might give other
problems..

For now, I'll hack glibc.
