Bug#490605: [...] assumes printf is a builtin

Here they are:
Builtins in mksh (-current from CVS), but not in dash (source from sid):
* bind (interactive)
* builtin
* fc (interactive)
* let (fancy for (( ... )) )
* mknod (another speed hack, OpenBSD's responsible for this one)
* print (Korn shell command)
* realpath (same as "readlink -f" from base)
* rename (similar to mv but doesn't copy; sometimes a life-saver)
* typeset (Korn shell command)
* whence (Korn shell command; whence -p approximately equals which)
Builtins in dash, but not in mksh:
* chdir (use cd instead)
* printf
dash builtins implemented as built-in macros in mksh:
* hash (alias -t)
* local (typeset)
* type (whence -v, but it's the same as command -V in dash+mksh)
The macro versions do not pose a threat because the macros are
"always" defined. (We had versions that didn't define them, ex-
cept local, for a /bin/sh, but these are long gone.)
So, the only mismatches are chdir (which could arguably be added
as a Debian-local patch, unless shows me the benefit of having it
upstream as well - if desired at all, that is; what does bash do?)
and printf (the topic of this discussion).
>and bash?
Having looked at dash, I think I don't need to, since the team
which converted /bin/sh to dash should already have done so ;-)
