This looks to be breaking the build on ppc64:

builtin-script.c: In function âgrab_bbâ:
builtin-script.c:595:11: error: format â%ldâ expects argument of type âlong intâ, but argument 4 has type âu64 {aka long long unsigned int}â [-Werror=format=]
printf("\tblock %" PRIx64 "-%" PRIx64 " (%ld) too long to dump\n", start, end, end - start);
