I had originally coded in %qd for some platforms, but *strongly* recall
that those platforms which supported %qd also supported %lld, so we
removed the %qd variant.
If int8 really doesn't work on FreeBSD, shame on the FreeBSDers for not
bringing it up earlier. But, it can't be that simple. If it *really*
doesn't work on FreeBSD, could it be related to relatively recent
changes in compilers or libraries (or are you running an old version of
FreeBSD)?
scrappy, can you take a look at this on your platform?
