Looks like this is now a non-issue:

ChangeSet@1.785.1.1, 2002-10-12 12:09:25-07:00,
rth@splat.sfbay.redhat.com
  Fix warnings of the form
    warning: long int format, different type arg (arg 5)
  by casting ino_t arguments to unsigned long for printf formats.
  In some instances, change %ld to %lu.
