A different approach to the problem reported in Patch #419651: Metrowerks on Mac adds 0x itself C std says %#x and %#X conversion of 0 do not add the 0x/0X base marker. Metrowerks apparently does. Mark Favas reported the same bug under a Compaq compiler on Tru64 Unix, but no other libc broken in this respect is known (known to be OK under MSVC and gcc). So just try the damn thing at runtime and see what the platform does. Note that we've always had bugs here, but never knew it before because a relevant test case didn't exist before 2.1.
