When f[w]printf() is called on an unbuffered file like stdout, it

Browse Source 
sets up a fake buffered FILE and then effectively calls itself
recursively. Unfortunately, gcc doesn't know how to do tail call
elimination in this case, and actually makes things worse by
inlining __sbprintf(). This means that f[w]printf() to stderr was
allocating about 5k of stack on 64-bit platforms, much of which was
never used.

I've reorganized things to eliminate the waste. In addition to saving
some stack space, this improves performance in my tests by anywhere
from 5% to 17% (depending on the test) when -fstack-protector is
enabled. I found no statistically significant performance difference
when stack protection is turned off. (The tests redirected stderr to
/dev/null.)
