Let data structures work for you.

#include <stdio.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        union {
                unsigned int i;
                unsigned char c[4];
        } ip;
        int i = 0;

        ip.i = 1089055123;
        /* endian-neutral iteration: */
        printf("%d.%d.%d.%d\n", ip.c[i++], ip.c[i++], ip.c[i++], ip.c[i++]);
        return 0;
}

Curse you with your large number bases.  But if you don't do GNU:

dc <<EOF

4so [Li lNx lo 1 - dd so 0 <P 0 <O] sO lOx
