Single Warning Analysis Request

Hi, I've been looking this, and I saw the following:
This warning arise because the %lc format option is for wint_t type,
and we are passing a wchar_t type.
At the architectures that doesn't give the warning, those two types
are the same (wint_t and wchar_t), and those who give the warning have
them of different types. At the end I'll show how I could see that.
According to the c standard there isn't an option to print one wchar_t
character, but you can print a string of wchar_t (passing the pointer,
and with WEOF as end of string) so, one solution could be print this
variable as follows:
wchar_t  wc[2]= {L'a'}; (or wchar_t  wc[2]= {L'a', WEOF};
printf("%ls",wc);

The other could be that gcc has wrongly defined the types for wchar_t
and wint_t for those architectures. This should be analysed
