[Bug c/44502] New: Bogus diagnostic: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'unsigned int'

[gcczilla1 at achurch dot org]

When passing the result of __builtin_bswap32() to printf() and -Wformat is
enabled, the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
int foo(unsigned int arg) {
    return printf("%u", __builtin_bswap32(arg));
}

generates this odd diagnostic:

foo.c:3: warning: format '%u' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has
type 'unsigned int'

Strangely enough, if I use "%d" instead of "%u", no diagnostic is generated.

I haven't checked the details of __builtin_bswap32()'s implementation, but I
wonder if this might be the same issue as (or related to) bug 21962?
