We would need to know what the trivial fix is ... presumably there's some 
problem including the system headers, since the compiler seems to think that 
PRIuPTR is an identifier, which it is not (it's a standard preprocessor 
constant which should have been replaced by a literal string before the 
compiler sees it).

Is that a system specific issue?  Do we need to define some other constant 
before including headers etc?
