Are you still talking about S/390? I see this from configure:

checking size of int... 4
checking size of long... 4
checking size of void *... 4
checking size of size_t... 4

So:
a) it's not a 64-bit system (it should then be an 31-bit system),
b) Python already would use %ld if sizeof(ssize_t)!=sizeof(int),
   but sizeof(ssize_t)==sizeof(long)

Not sure why gcc is complaining; according to this change to APR

http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@apr.apache.org/msg18533.html

it might still be that the warning goes away if %ld is used on
S390 (similar to what is done for __APPLE__). Interestingly
enough, they use this code for OSX :-)

+    *apple-darwin*)
+        osver=`uname -r`
+        case $osver in
+           [[0-7]].*)
+              ssize_t_fmt="d"
+              ;;
+           *)
+              ssize_t_fmt="ld"
+              ;;
+        esac
