ReliantUNIX 5.43 is MIPS 32 bits only but 5.44 and 5.45 (the current and last
(there will never be a follow-up)) are MIPS 64 bits with support for %ll.

I use GCC for compiling on all systems, thus there is a 64 bit data type
available even on ReliantUNIX 5.43 and also SINIX-Z (really old Siemens UNIX
for i386).

That would be nice. I just looked up the source for such a decimal formatter,
which is really easy (if there is a 64 bit data type available).
