PRI* are ugly. FreeBSD provides it so that we are compliant and so that
portable code can use it, but we do not use it in our source tree because
it is unreadable.

Hmm, jobs.c shouldn't need any of the (ptrdiff_t) casts as the expression
being printed is already a ptrdiff_t. See this non-debug code in jobs.c
for example:
int
bgcmd(int argc, char **argv)
{
char s[64];
struct job *jp;
...
do {
...
fmtstr(s, 64, "[%td] ", jp - jobtab + 1);
