If the '-' modifier is so useless in practice, then why don't we just
remove it from the format string of the caller rather than making
the printf implementation deviate from the expected behaviour?

From "man 3 printf":

" - The converted value is to be left adjusted on the field
    boundary.  (The default is right justification.)  The converted
    value is padded on the right with blanks, rather than on the left
    with blanks or zeros.  A - overrides a 0 if both are given."

Either way, I think that this change needs to be done as a separate
patch. Smuggling it as a part of this "l" modifier patch looks rather
fishy ;-)

Very cool :-)

OK, I guess we have to live with this. One more win for Thumb2 vs.
AArch64 though.

And thanks for adding these stats to the commit message.
