No.  intmax_t is a typedefed type since it is machine-dependent and
possibly longer than long long.  Changing it to long long on all
machine defeats the point of it.  There is a problem since gcc-2.x
doesn't understand intmax_t.  Perhaps this gcc-3 understands it.  If
it supports C99 then it should support %j already.
