%z is C99 specific, and should not be relied on, but PRIdMAX is fine,
since the inttypes module backports PRIdMAX to older hosts.
More generally, there's not that much use for imaxtostr nowadays,
since the inttypes module and newer versions of gettext allow things
like _("truncating %s at %" PRIdMAX " bytes") to work portably.
I suspect that (if someone cares to take the time) we can remove
all instances of imaxtostr and umaxtostr in coreutils and gnulib.
