My validate always has process008 failing (missing printf).  The rest is fine.

And ironically, in the logs we find:

  It doesn't work on Windows for me otherwise

It works for me with echo (on Cygwin). Ian - what's the problem here? Presumably MSYS doesn't come with printf by default, so we need to fix this.

Indeed!

On Windows (MSYS) I get several failures that I'm pretty sure have been
there for a while.  They seem to relate to things like 'printf' not
existing.  That makes it harder to interpret a Windows validate run.

I wonder if someone (Neil? Ian?) might investigate?
I see some, but not all of those failures on our buildbots, I'll
investigate.  We had zero failures a few days ago, so I think these are new.
Well, on closer inspection we currently have zero failures on the Cygwin
buildbots, for the fast/validate testsuite.  I don't have an MSYS build set
up, so could someone else try with that?

Cheers,
       Simon
