Nope, that's the way it was back when 'long' became available on PDP-11s.
Always use "%d", "%x" and so on for "int".	(PDP-11: 2 == sizeof (int))
Always use "%ld", "%lx" and so on for "long".	(PDP-11: 4 == sizeof (long))
No need to worry about "char" or "short", as they promote to "int".

This *IS* what UNIX cc compilers require.  You are confusing "machine
where sizeof (int) == sizeof (long)" with "UNIX machine".  'Tisn't so.
PDP-11s & Z8000s running UNIX had the same problem for the same reason.
