About %u and sizeof, if without (int). It's OK with cygwin.  But it
cannot work OK with amd64.
It will get:
../../src/gdb/linux-record.c: In function ‘record_linux_system_call’:
../../src/gdb/linux-record.c:551: warning: format ‘%u’ expects type
‘unsigned int’, but argument 4 has type ‘long unsigned int’
Could you give me some help with it?
