Ok. So you tell me we shall enable 64-bit printf for all OMAP3 boards 
that show this warning?

What I still miss: If this warning indicates that something *is* 
wrong, why not run MAKEALL and enable it in config for all boards that 
show this warning? What's the advantage of having all maintainers 
sending patches for their boards?
