  | This change broke the pkgsrc/lang/openjdk8(1) build.

That it is broken and ought to be patched upstream, it is quite
clear that printf is required to take no options at all - there was
a bug report about it not correctly handling "printf ---" (actually with
a newline appended, but that is irrelevant) which it was correct to fix.

Sometimes stuff that has relied upon bugs simply breaks when the bugs
get fixed.
