On amd64 I get:
lib/database.cc: In function ‘const char* _notmuch_database_generate_thread_id(notmuch_database_t*)’:
lib/database.cc:1309: warning: format ‘%016llx’ expects type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’

What about the following? This could also fix Sebastian's problem.
