How's that?

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Mark die() as a function which accepts printf-style arguments so that
the compiler can typecheck them against the supplied format string.

Use the C99 inttypes.h format specifiers as relocs.c gets built for both
32- and 64-bit.

Original version of the patch by Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
