First of all, %j/uintmax_t is used since uint64_t does not match
long long on all our platforms. Hence to print this without warning
we need to do this.

Since I only looked at removing the warnings I did not realize that
it is only used when printing. However, I do agree that this is a better
solution. I will make that change and run it through a make universe.

I have absolutly no idea. Can someone here at standards@ answer 
this question?
