They come from fprintf and fscanf here:

util/virpidfile.c: In function 'virPidFileWritePath':
util/virpidfile.c:72:5: warning: unknown conversion type character 'l' in format [-Wformat]
util/virpidfile.c:72:5: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]
util/virpidfile.c: In function 'virPidFileReadPath':
util/virpidfile.c:130:5: warning: unknown conversion type character 'l' in format [-Wformat]
util/virpidfile.c:130:5: warning: too many arguments for format [-Wformat-extra-args]

I thought about using that solution, but I prefer the format macro. Tbh, I wish some of these would be part of gnulib (perhaps some already are). glib also has a bunch of these, although not pid_t.
