It was me, because I prefer printf(1) over echo(1) and have used it in 
some places of the infrastructure. Since it existed even on an old AIX 
installation I have, I thought it would be safe to always require it, 
but I was wrong.

Which platforms don't have a native printf(1)? In most cases we have 
just forgotten to add the definition to mk/tools/tools.${OPSYS}.mk.
