[New-bugs-announce] [issue4370] warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format

[Akira Kitada]

New submission from Akira Kitada <akitada at gmail.com>:

Some compilers don't understand "%zd" format specifer
and gcc 2.95.4 is one of them.
(You can find more on http://www.and.org/vstr/printf_comparison)

When building Python with such compilers, you will see a lot of
"warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format" messages.
This is not a big issue but I think this can be fixed by using autoconf
right way because configure script seems checking availability of "zd".

  "checking for %zd printf() format support"

So I suppose there is a way to eliminate this warning completely.
