| i386 and x86_64 compiles fine for me with gcc versions 4.6.3-2 and 4.7.2-2

But is broken on Power for 64bit :-( I am trying to fix that and thought
that use of format specifiers like 'PRIu64' was the way to go.

| i386 compiles fine

__u64 is 'unsigned long long' on x86 and PRIu64 is 'llu' which is fine.

__u64 is 'unsigned long' on Power and PRIu64 is 'lu' which is again fine.

But __u64 is 'unsigned long long' on x86_64, but PRIu64 is '%lu' bc __WORDS=
IZE
is 64.

On x86_64, shouldn't __u64, be defined as 'unsigned long' rather than
'unsigned long long' - ie include 'int-l64.h' rather than 'int-ll64.h' ?

BTW, does 'perf' with my patch compile, (with warnings) for you on x86_64
with 'WERROR=3D0 make' ?
