I don't see that.

It doesn't for me; it prints
test.c:3: warning: integer constant is too large for "long" type
Which is an entirely correct warning, since gcc defaults to the C99
standard, which does not have the "long long" type required to
represent the constant 0x100000000. Use -std=c99 if you want
to avoid this warning.
Unless I missed something, I think we can close this bug...
