That's because printf.c is part of gnulib, and both coreutils and m4 use
the same source file.  Whatever you do to fix it for one package will fix
it for the other; and as Bruno suggested, if compiling with CFLAGS=-O
fixes it (by detecting the brokenness of your compiler's long long), then
it probably is not worth much further effort in gnulib to work around it.
