Hi,

the error message the test matches on occurs only once in the GNU datamsh
sources.  That same line has resulted in a build failure on Fedora for
the armv7hl platform[1], which is 32bit.  I have suggested two possible
fixes[2], but cannot test them, since I do not have an ARM system for
build tests available.  Those compile fixes just use the correct format
specifier for the variable holding the line number.

This might fix the tests as well, but I don't know this.  Perhaps you would
like to try this.

Of course, datamash 1.7 is quite old and thus the patches agains current
git might not apply cleanly.

HTH,
Erik
