Undefined behavior, so both are correct.

I suspect the underlying cause is that x86 passes all args on the
stack, while MIPS passes the first four (or eight) in registers.  So
the x86 code looks like this:
    push 0
    push 1
    push 2
    push (pointer to "%d %d %d")
    call printf
while the MIPS code looks like
    la	 a0, (pointer to "%d %d %d")
    li	 a1, 0
    li	 a2, 1
    li	 a3, 2
    jal	 printf
