One last piece of homework: can you identify in your patch the range
of c compilers / standards-compliance-CFLAGS tested with this change?
I'm a bit worried that U-suffixing may be rejected by earlier or
non-gnu compilers.  

A little experiment shows, gcc 4.8 with -ansi -pedantic outright
rejects large integers, with or without U suffix.

 gcc  -ansi -pedantic -c foo.c     
foo.c:1:14: warning: ISO C restricts enumerator values to range of ‘int’ [-Wpedantic]
 enum i { x = 4000000000U };

It accepts with a     (int)4000000000    casting formulation instead.
