There is a problem here. On my machine (x86_64) I have:

typedef unsigned int __u32;
typedef         __u32           uint32_t;


So I should use %u to print my uint32_t variable (as I reported in my commit
message).

Probably this is not the case on each and every architecture?
If so, how could I handle it?


Cheers,
