It should also check for LLONG_MAX in that case.

Well, on my box here (FreeBSD) LLONG_MAX is actually defined in
/usr/include/machine/limits.h which is included from limits.h

So you may have to "dig deeper". You could/should try a recursive grep
on your system's /usr/include.

Quite possibly, depending on the libraries/frameworks you're including.
I did a quick scan on the exception notice and on scanLongLong. Both
appear only once in -core, in NSScanner.m
