printf() will be using the diag serial driver. This is designed to
directly write its output to the serial hardware using polled IO.
By openning /dev/tty0 you are using the interrupt driven serial driver
and i think buffered IO. Im guessing that when main ends the serial
drivers buffers are getting flushed and so the buffered output is then
being sent. When you are using a thread this flushing is not
happening.
The is cyg_io_get_config you can call to force the buffer to be
flushed. See
