I also tried with a cast to an ssize_t and replacing %zd with an %zi.
None of them make a difference; all return an unsigned value. This is
with powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.0 (GCC) 4.0.0 20041026 (Apple
Computer, Inc. build 4061). Although i would expect the issue is in
the std C library rather than the compiler.
Forcing PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T to be "l" instead of "z" fixes this problem.
BTW, this is the same issue on Mac OS X:
>>> struct.pack('=b', -599999)
__main__:1: DeprecationWarning: 'b' format requires 4294967168 <= number <= 127
'A'
