programmingk...@gmail.com[*] reported a runtime failure on a 32-bit Mac OS compilation, where "%"PRId64 expands to "%qd". Fortunately, we had very few spots that were relying on our pseudo-printf JSON parsing of 64-bit numbers, so it was easier to just convert callers and rip out the 64-bit support. The remaining uses of pseudo-printf handling are more complex; there are only 3 users in the released codebased, but LOTS of users in the testsuite (via wrapper functions like qmp()); I will be posting a followup series that rips out the remaining uses of dynamic JSON, but it will be 2.9 material, while these three patches qualify for 2.8.
[*] git log shows the name John, but the particular email that sparked this only stated the non-descript name 'G 3', which makes it a bit hard for me to know which form is preferred when lending credit. In patch 3, I chose to remove existing support for 64-bit dynamic JSON on all platforms, so that we quickly see a failure in an attempt to use such a construct even on mainstream glibc development environments, rather than only on the less-frequent 32-bit Mac OS build environment.
