cygwin-1.7.5: intptr_t/uintptr_t types and PRI?PTR/SCI?PTR format specfiers are inconsistent

[Matthew Fluet <matthew dot fluet at gmail dot com>]

/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.)

[mtf@fenrirvm-win7 tmp]$ cat z.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <inttypes.h>

int main(int argc, const char* arg[]) {

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