Subject: Strange asm warning from bsetupt.s in 2.5.3-pre5

I've just finished to compile 2.5.3-pre5 and I noticed
the following strange warning from as(1):
as -o bsetup.o bsetup.s
bsetup.s: Assembler messages:
bsetup.s:1180: Warning: Value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff.
~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

It's comming from the small change introduced in setup.S:
ramdisk_max: .long __MAXMEM-1 # (Header version 0x0203 or later)


FYI as(1) version is:
as --version
GNU assembler 2.11.90.0.19

Cheers
