If you mean my message "printf: 0 flag and given precision for %b" in
the libc-alpha list, then this does not concern the printf man page
yet, because this man page currently does not mention %b at all (%b
is rather new, and not in the current C standard). This should be
added to the man page, but this is not trivial, and I think that the
inconsistency I've mentioned should be resolve in one way or the
other before %b is added to the man page (in order to make sure that
it does not contain something that could become obsolete).

So, does one really need the link in the commit message, while %b is
not in the man page yet?
