Please try the attached patch. It disconnects the sprintf and sscanf
family of functions from bringing in all the I/O stuff. This is
especially useful since tzset drags in sscanf.
If I missed something, let me know.

Jeff:
Since the separation of sprintf/scanf from the I/O stuff isn't part of
the C library specification, this patch doesn't really do me any good.
In fact, I'ld prefer that it not be applied. Had this patch already been
applied when I started, it would have had the effect of obscuring a bug.
If the specification doesn't require them to be connected,
then this looks like a good thing to me. In the RTEMS world,
we have been pushing our minimum code space number down
and this looks like a legitimate idea for reducing the
automatic baggage.
