For gcc we could solve it in the obvious way, which I guess Martin was hoping to avoid: change Unixish config to detect whether the platform C supports the "z" format modifier (I believe gcc does), and if so arrange to stick

#define PYFORMATSIZET "z"

It's not gcc to support "z" (except for the compile-time check); it's the C library (on Unix, the C library is part of the system, not part of the compiler).

But yes: if we could detect in configure that the C library supports %zd, then we should use that.
