I can see the following warnings during mingw32 build.

gc.c: In function 'gc_profile_result':
gc.c:3581:4: warning: unknown conversion type character 'z' in format

                 from vm.c:25:

And I know these warnings are completely meaningless because Ruby uses it's own BSD_vfprintf implementaion.

Here is a patch of include/ruby/ruby.h for suppressing format warnings on mingw32
