 >What is the new definition?  What is this macro?
 
 Old macro was:
 
 # if __WORDSIZE == 64
 #  define INT64_C(c)    c ## L
 # else
 #  define INT64_C(c)    c ## LL
 # endif
 
 New macro is:
 #define INT64_C(val) (INT_LEAST64_MAX-INT_LEAST64_MAX+(val))
 
 
 (in file include/stdint.h)
 
 This macro is part of ANSI C99 standard. It allows to specify integer 
 constant size.
 
 >I suspect the warnings are correct, but new, and that the definition
 of the macro is unchanged.
 No, definition changed.
 No, warnings are not correct as INT64_C(-3000000000) is valid code because 
 -3000000000 is valid 64bits integer.
 
 >You should probably add a U to the relevant numbers.
 ??? 'U' with negative numbers ???
 
 >Anyway, not a GCC bug.
 Is IS a GCC bug if you consider ANSI C99 standard.
