/usr/bin/printf(1) not POSIX.2 compliant

[tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost]

Hello,

If I'm not mistaken, /usr/bin/printf(1) is not POSIX.2 compliant:

$ /usr/bin/printf "---\n"
printf: unknown option -- -
Usage: printf format [arg ...]

The specification says that printf has no options and we invoke
getopt(3). Every first argument, even looking like options, is a valid
format.

To circumvent:
$ /usr/bin/printf "\055--\n"
or
$ /usr/bin/printf "%c--\n" -

Solution:
	remove the call to getopt.

Am I correct? Is it worth a PR?

Best,
