I'm in complete agreement with you on this. We are only sure for the x86_64.

We are too close to the release to consider this change. The next time after
tests in CVS...

Now it is possible to inform in documentation of this option of compilation.


See: ISO C99: 7.8 Format conversion of integer types    <inttypes.h>
              /usr/include/inttypes.h


Regards,
