Spurious scanf("%zu") warning

[Joseph S. Myers]

GCC snapshot 20000327 on i686-pc-linux-gnu gives a spurious warning about
the use of the %zu format with scanf (using -std=c99 -Wformat).  (My copy
of C99 is currently on order, so I'm presuming here that the same
specification of this format applies as in the last public draft.)

The test case is:

==========
extern int scanf(const char *, ...);

typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;

size_t foo(void) { size_t t; scanf("%zu", &t); return t; }
==========

Messages given:

$ egcc -std=c99 -Wformat -S scanf-bug.c
scanf-bug.c: In function `foo':
scanf-bug.c:5: warning: use of `z' length character with `u' type character
$ egcc -v
