And we don't want to add casts. We just want to use the PRIxxx constants
to have portable printf formats and avoid warnings.

I am wondering if when we avoided changing newlib-stdint.h to match the
logic
in glibc-stdint.h for uintptr_t by adding configure time logic, we just
pushed
off the problem. At this point, all I can see as a solution is something
like this
in inttypes.h:

#if defined(__m32c__) || defined(__h8300__)
  /* do whatever is needed */
#else
  /* we can rely on the value provided by configure, use current logic */
#endif
