FWIW, I just found out I missed a bug that clang failed to warn about
because of the -Wno-format. Apparently gcc warns only about type
mismatches that result in incompatible calling conventions (e.g.
int vs int64_t) but not smaller types (int, short) that get converted to an
int anyway. Passing -Wno-format turns both off.
