Ah I see your point, but then again, %lx could have been used. Unless there is some arch where sizeof(long) != sizeof(void *).

That really makes gcc bitch, *and* it's wrong for a whole bunch of reasons.

It's really too bad gcc bitches about %#p, because that's arguably The Right
Thing.

ack. Make a bug report perhaps?

Maybe.  They'll probably say "the C standard says so" :-/
