The best reference is the C standard. The most recent publicly
available draft of C11 is here:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf
The next best (and sometimes better) reference is POSIX:

Because the spec doesn't say what precision the number is
to be interpreted in, it must be taken to mean a number with
an arbitrary precision.

I think for the purposes of runtime evaluation by a conforming
implementation, both the width and the precision need to be
interpreted "as if" with infinite precision.
But after sleeping on it, I suppose that for the purposes of
the warning, it could be helpful to point out values that exceed
even INT_MAX on the host (rather than target) because they aren't
very meaningful and are most likely mistakes (e.g., hidden by
macro expansion).
It might still be useful to have the pass store the larger number
(up to its limit, whatever that is on the host), and use it for
its internal computation and subsequent diagnostics for accuracy.
