You are right, thx.
Unfortunately, there still seems to be a bug in the newlib headers:
Compiling the snippet

#include <inttypes.h>
#include <stdio.h>

uintptr_t blah(void *arg)
{
uintptr_t rval = (uintptr_t)arg;
    printf("%"PRIxPTR"\n", rval);
    return rval;
}

produces:

tst.c: In function 'blah':
tst.c:7: warning: format '%llx' expects type 'long long unsigned int', 
but argument 2 has type 'uintptr_t'

I.e., the formatting macro expands to 'unsigned long long int' but 
uintptr_t is only 'unsigned int'
(which seems to be ok on a 32-bit machine).

(gcc 4.1.1, newlib 1.14.0)
