The warning is spurious, %I64u is valid on Windows. Unfortunately with the macro the full text of the format is hidden so all you have is the misleading "%u" from the base message:

C:\Users\Tony\dev\perl\git>gcc -Wformat -oint64.exe int64.c
int64.c: In function 'main':
int64.c:6:15: warning: format '%u' expects argument of type 'unsigned 
+int', but argument 2 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Wformat=]

unsigned long long x = 0;

int main() {

If it is a bug, it's a bug in perl, since that's where the macro OP is using comes from.

I've considered changing the Win32 config in perl to use "%llu"/"%lld" instead, but testing against the older versions of MSVCRT in older Windows that we theoretically support is difficult.
