Huh, interesting situation. It's interesting that 1<<60 even works at
all on old gccs. I guess that in this case, it just takes the type of
the actual constant, rather than of the enum type?

Either way, I'll apply (a version of) your patch and push it back out on
the next wireguard fixup series.

Thanks for this.

Jason
