/usr/include/stdint.h typedefs intptr_t as "int" and uintptr_t as
"unsigned int".
/usr/include/inttypes.h #defines PRIdPTR as "ld" and PRIoPTR as "lo".
These and the other PRI?PTR and SCN?PTR format specifiers are meant to
be used for the intptr_t and uintptr_t types (thus, making them usable
without needing to know their exact type definitions).
This inconsistency leads to warnings from gcc. (There is also a
potential calling-convention mismatch, though not on x86.)

printf("&argc = 0x%08"PRIdPTR"\n", (intptr_t)(&argc));
printf("&argc = 0x%08"PRIxPTR"\n", (uintptr_t)(&argc));
return 0;
