The statement that prints the ELF object type value assumes that "%lx" (long unsigned int, hexadecimal) is suitable for printing a uint64_t typed value. While this may seem to work for some machines, ie. amd64, it isn't ideal on a 32-bit system, such as x86 where uint64_t is likely to be equivalent to a long long unsigned int, as indicated by:
../tools/mips-relocs.c:275:34: warning: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'uint64_t' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Wformat=] 275 | printf("type 0x%lx\n", ehdr_field(e_type)); | ~~^ | | | long unsigned int | %llx As the ehdr_field function-like macro expands to a uint64_t value, it is better to use the PRIx64 macro in place of "%lx" to ensure that the correct format string introducer is specified for the actual type hiding behind uint64_t. A similar issue is also present in the report of .rel section overflow, where "%lx" is used to print a few size_t typed values, and would be better served by "%zx" instead.
