No, they won't.  It is only if you invoke gcc with -Wall, it will warn 
you about these, but `printf' will work flawlessly, because in DJGPP (as 
in most 32-bit machines), long and int *are* the same.

Of course, if you want to write portable software, you *will* invoke gcc 
with -Wall and you *will* pay attention to those warnings.
