When compiling the current code on GCC 4.8.3, the following warnings
appear:
warning: format '%zu' expects argument of type 'size_t', but argument
2 has type 'long unsigned int' [-Wformat=]
There were many mails about such warnings on different architectures.
This patch limits itself to the nios2 architecture.
The problem is that for the size_t (%zu, %zd, ...) arguments of
printf GCC does not verify the type match to size_t type. It verifies
the type match to the compiler-defined __SIZE_TYPE__ type. Thus, if
size_t is defined different from __SIZE_TYPE__ - warnings inevitably
appear.
There is a comment by Thomas Chou to the (rejected) patch:
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/272102/
which explains that the older GCC toolchains (gcc-3.4.6 and gcc-4.1.2)
expect size_t to be "unsigned long" and the newer expect it to be
"unsigned int". Thus, no matter how we define size_t - either way
warnings appear when using some GCC version.
By rejecting that patch, a choice was made to prefer older GCC versions
and leave the warnings when building with the newer toolchains.
Personally, I disagree with this choice...
In any case, this patch proposes a way to fix the warnings for any GCC
version. Just define size_t using the __SIZE_TYPE__ compiler-defined
type and the type verification will pass.
I tested that this fixes the warning on GCC 4.8.3. I don't have an
older toolchain to test with, but __SIZE_TYPE__ was definitely defined
in GCC 3.4.6, so it should work there too.

This is consistent with nios2-linux. And resolved the warning,
cmd_nvedit.c: In function `do_env_export':
cmd_nvedit.c:660: warning: size_t format, ssize_t arg (arg 3)

This helps to clean up the include/ directory so that it only contains
non-architecture-specific headers and also matches Linux's directory
layout which many U-Boot developers are already familiar with.
