Do you mean that the output from printf doesn't produce tabs, e.g.,

printf("\t\tABC\n");

shows ABC against the left most edge with no white space? How about
if you redirect output to a file?

Well, -mlibscl links against the SharedCLibrary, so it would be the
printf there that is responsible. Whether it's intended behaviour,
I'm not sure.
