DJGPP definitly does support `long long'.

Use `%Ld' instead (I used `%Lx')

It's in the printf info section (info libc al printf) in the 
paragraph just above the format specifiers. Quote:

*  An optional conversion qualifier, which may be `h' to specify
  `short', `l' to specify long ints, or `L' to specify long doubles.
  Long long type can be specified by `L' or `ll'.

No, it just seems that `ll' doesn't work.
