Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• This function is missing on some platforms: NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, HP-UX 11.00, Cygwin 1.5.x.
• On Windows and 32-bit AIX platforms, wchar_t is a 16-bit type and therefore cannot accommodate all Unicode characters.
• On Windows, this function does not take a buffer size as second argument.
• This function does not support size specifiers as in C23 (w8, w16, w32, w64, wf8, wf16, wf32, wf64) on some platforms: glibc 2.37, musl libc, macOS 14, FreeBSD 13.2, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.5, AIX 7.3, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 3.5.3, mingw, MSVC, Android 9.0.
• This function doesn’t support the ' flag at all on some platforms: mingw without __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO, MSVC 14, Haiku.
• This function doesn’t support the ' flag correctly for integers (it uses the decimal point instead of the thousands separator!) on some platforms: mingw with __USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO.
• This function doesn’t support the ' flag together with a precision on an integer argument correctly on some platforms: glibc 2.36, FreeBSD 14.0, NetBSD 10.0, Solaris 11, Cygwin 3.6.0, Haiku.
• This function doesn’t support the ' flag correctly in locales where the thousands separator is a multibyte character on some platforms: NetBSD 10.0, Solaris 11 OpenIndiana.
• This function does not support the ‘b’ directive, required by ISO C23, on some platforms: glibc 2.34, musl libc, macOS 14, FreeBSD 13.2, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.5, AIX 7.3, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 3.5.3, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 9.0.
• This function does not support the ‘B’ directive on some platforms: glibc 2.34, musl libc, macOS 14, FreeBSD 13.2, NetBSD 10.0, OpenBSD 7.5, AIX 7.3, Solaris 11.4, Cygwin 3.5.3, mingw, MSVC, Android 9.0.
• printf "%#.0x" or "%#.0X" with a zero argument yields an incorrect result (non-empty) on some platforms: Mac OS X 10.6.
• The %m directive is not portable, use %s mapped to an argument of strerror(errno) (or a version of strerror_r) instead.
• In the C or POSIX locales, the %c and %s conversions may fail on some platforms: glibc 2.35.
• When formatting an integer with grouping flag, this function inserts thousands separators even in the "C" locale on some platforms: NetBSD 5.1.
