Mind including the output by GCC in the changelog?

Fun.

So this:

static void snprint_time(char *buf, size_t bufsiz, s64 nr)
{
        s64 div;
        s32 rem;

        nr += 5; /* for display rounding */
        div = div_s64_rem(nr, 1000, &rem);
        snprintf(buf, bufsiz, "%lld.%02d", (long long)div, (int)rem/10);
}

... actually needs 21+1 bytes?

Which I suppose is true - longest s64 is "-9223372036854775808"-ish, which 
converted to the fixed-point float format above is "-9223372036854775.80": 
21 bytes, plus termination is another byte: 22.

Maybe put this into the changelog too, instead of relying on magic GCC 
calculations only. :-)

Thanks,
