Great ! (at least my work is not a piece of crap ;-) ).

Humm, i think that a C printf call is used in the Printf module, which
take into account that locale you have set using LANG.
Maybe, you should try something like "env LC_NUMERIC=C myprogram" which
should give you the expected result (if C is bind to english, otherwise
try LC_NUMERIC=en_US).

What are _s functions ? Why should it be an issue to use
GettextStub.Native ?
