I can see doing this if there are any cases of actual
output-to-users here, but for debug printfs, it scarcely
seems worth the effort. I'm not arguing against this particular
patch, since you've done the work now; just wondering what the
motivation was...

(To save anybody else checking) Changing the output of this test
program is OK because tests/Makefile makes the arguable assumption
that we're running on an x86 box and can regenerate the "known good"
output reference rather than having to keep a copy in git...
