This one is pretty easy to explain (more or less).  In the MRG-base ADB
support (/sys/arch/mac68k/mac68k/macrom.c), there is the following
comment:

/*
 * Without these print statements, ADBReInit fails on IIsi
 * It is unclear why--perhaps a compiler bug?  delay()s do not
 * work, nor does some assembly similar to the  printf calls.
 * A printf(""); is sufficient, but gcc -Wall is noisy about
 * it, so I figured backspace is harmless enough...
*/

followed by this line:

printf("\010"); printf("\010");

So, hopefully, that'll answer your question.  If not, then I suppose
you're in the dark as much as the rest of us :-)

Later.
