No, I do not.

I suggested that the other format strings were questionable based on a
reading of the glibc printf man page.  Aside from the 32-bit integer
problem the other formats work fine in the unmodified form on the three
platforms I use.

Can anyone with a better understanding of the libc standard comment on
the "correctness" of the following lines?

int8_t i1;
int16_t i2;

printf("%d", i1);
printf("%d", i2);

vs:

printf("%hhd", i1);
printf("%hd", i2);
