 But what is defining this macro?  GCC, or your system?  I don't
 think it really matters, though.
 
 Remember that with the new macro the token does not have L or LL
 appended, and therefore has type int (before promotions) in an
 arithmetic expression.  This is what is causing the warning -
 the integer is too big.  You should probably add L or LL as
 appropriate to your constants.
