No other uses with fprintf() though.
The od one goes through printf, but that's only debugging.
The error() ones are fine as they go through any printf() replacement.
Hmm, you're right, that dependency is not explicit,
so it's a bit brittle to leave those.
I wonder should the gnulib errno module depend on the [v]fprintf-posix modules?

Anyway it's better to be consistent and remove the remaining
few uses of %zu for now, so I've just pushed a patch to do that.

thanks,
Pádraig.
