Yep, there is a sscanf and float, double and long long seem to be
supported.

Of course, should have guessed.

There is one call to malloc in the printf source, seems to be in a
function called asprintf and is isolated to that function (ie: asprintf
isn't called from elsewhere in the file).

I must stress that I haven't actually tried to separate these two from
the rest of uClibc and use them in an RT app but it looks like it should
be relativly easy.

Good luck,
