I can be pedantic under any circumstances :)

gcc -std=gnu89 -Wall -pedantic -Wno-long-long

Then you have to cast size_t into unsigned long long and off_t into
long long when printf'ing

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    size_t x = 10;
    printf("%lld\n", (long long)x);
    return 0;
}
