[Bug gas/5026] New: Displaying Truncated Values Incorrectly

[evandro dot menezes at amd dot com]

When defining a constant too long for the size specified, the warning message
itself may truncate the original value on some platforms.

For example, this code:

.word   0x1234567890

On x86-64, GAS correctly displays:

****  Warning:value 0x1234567890 truncated to 0x7890

Whereas on x86, GAS displays:

****  Warning:value 0x34567890 truncated to 0x34567890

It should be easy to fix it by making sure that the longest integer is used (see
attachment).
