Well, BROKEN_SNPRINTF is a noop - there is no code that uses this
define (it should probably be removed from the config header).

Recompiling with HAVE_SNPRINTF and HAVE_VSNPRINTF both undefined fixes
it (but of course make the resulting binaries larger).
However, is that the right thing to do? Is st->st_size (defined as
off_t) really a long long? It isn't under Tru64 or Linux/Alpha (or
really, long long is the same as just long and it is defined as long)
and it isn't under Linux/x86 unless additional defines are added for
large file support.
Only sftp-client.c and sftp-server.c seem to use long long and the %llu
format; what does scp do with large files?
Is there a standard that specifies "ll" as a valid format modifier for u
and d? Without additional defines, off_t is usually a long anyway.
