GCC 2.2.2 (Sparc, SunOS 4.1.2) incorrectly multiplies some long long
constants by 3.  In the following example program, GCC miscomputes c3's
initial value to be 4294967294 instead of the correct value 8589934590,
so the program incorrectly exits with status 1.

	#define C 2863311530LL
	long long int c = C;
	long long int c3 = C * 3;

	main() { return c*3 != c3; }

Here is a workaround.
