[Yes we know that is not your real code.  Wouldn't have been as easy to
use
   long x;
   sprintf(biffer,"%d", x);
as your example?  It would avoid an additional syntax error which is
unrelated to your question.]

"Works fine" is the road to damnation.  Your code is wrong and needs
fixing.  You avoid this warning by writing correct code.  The specifier
for a (signed) long is "%ld".
