On an alpha time_t is defined as an int, and on i386 as a long (I believe
on other platforms too). This causes me a problem when trying to compile
clean code (well, gcc -Wall type clean).

If I want to print a time in seconds, using a time_t variable, then
on the alpha it is a %u whilst on the other platforms a %lu. What
is the "right thing" to do in these circumstances ? (There are a few
hundred of these printf/fprintf calls, and adding casts to each seems
a bit over the top :( )

BTW The man page for ctime(3) say in the first paragraph that the time
in seconds is a long int...
