that works.  the extra () are unnecessary.

i think that gcc is using 6.3.1.1 and converting
c to an int (since it fits) so the original expression
is evaulated as
	(int)0xab << (int)24
	-> (int)0xab000000
if there is any sign extension here, it is shifted
away.  then gcc sign-extends this into 8 bytes,
giving the value you see.
