Because "%d" is for signed numbers?  For better or worse, GCC 2.x
doesn't seem to check the signedness of types being printed and of the
format (e.g., warning about signed with "%u" or unsigned with "%d"; "%o"
and "%x"/"%X" would presumably be considered OK with either), only the
size and integer/pointer/floating-point nature.
