No, not yet. But I have tried to compile it recently and got a bunch of 
warnings.
As soon as EuroSim will be available on 64 bits, I would appreciate it if the 
warnings/errors have been fixed.

To put it mildly yes.

This is somewhat of an ugly problem. There are some solutions for Linux/GCC 
using non-standard formats (like z for size_t arguments).
Otherwise you have to do some ugly casting to cast a variable to a builtin 
type or you must provide different format strings for different compilation 
modes (or even different compilers) (which is also ugly).
Typical lose-lose scenario.
