Seems to be fixed in the latest newlib (1.15.0 with rtems4.7-20070208  
patch):

1) The format string seems correct:
 > m68k-rtems4.7-gcc -E a.c | grep 'printf.*rval'
     printf("%""lx""\n", rval);

2) And it compiles without warning:
 > m68k-rtems4.7-gcc -Wall -c -O4 a.c


I got similar results with the powerpc and i386 cross-compilers.
