HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_DEC should not be considered safe with pp_format 
(although since r197049 may have effectively stopped using %I64 on MinGW 
hosts, I'm not sure if there are current cases where it won't work).  
Rather, it is the job of pp_format to map the 'w' length specifier to 
HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_DEC etc.

I think it clearly makes for cleaner code to limit use of 
HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_* to as few places as possible and to prefer use of 
internal printf-like functions that accept formats such as %wd where 
possible.
