%hhx doesn't seems to be supported on win32. See my previous commit [1].

Clang throws a warning on unused expression (not function) result. And
aimutil_put32 is a macro expanding to (something(),something(),4).
Casting to void just silences it. I don't think it's a problem,
because its output is definitely constant.
