If the 'L' or 'LL' suffix is portable (probably), and token pasting is
portable (yes), then the aggregate should be as well, because one is
handled by the preprocessor and the other by the compiler.

It's possible that there might be one that warns and truncates, but that's
unlikely.  Why are there suffixes for integer (not float) constants
anyway?
