Thanks for testing.  But the above does not make sense to me because
until ./configure is run there is no ./Makefile and therefore the
"make bootstrap" can't work.  Also since this is a distribution test
snapshot then you should not need/want to bootstrap anyway.  Instead
use the files that came with the distribution bundle.  Simply unpack
then './configure' and then 'make'.

Either:
  lzma -dc coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a.tar.lzma | tar xf -
Or:
  tar xzf coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a.tar.gz

Then:
  cd coreutils-6.9-354-68c33a
  ./configure
  make

Can you run the test again with VERBOSE=yes set and then post the
contents of the printf-surprise.log file?

  VERBOSE=yes RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes make -C tests/misc check 
TESTS=printf-surprise

Thanks
