  0.                          17
  
  and I get whitespace instead. Does this sounds like a gmp bug, or am I
  getting messed up with compiler versions or flags?
  
No GMP bug.

GMP deflects some of the actual printing to the corresponding libc
printf function, and since zero padding for strings is not portable, you
observe system-dependent behaviour.
