64-bit powerpc compare with constant problem

[Benjamin Gamsa <ben at eecg dot toronto dot edu>]

A simple comparison of a 64-bit unsigned long with a 64-bit constant, 
both of them being 0xffffffffffffffffUL, fails with the 64-bit powerpc/aix
configuration.

Command line: 

gcc -v -maix64 -save-temps file.c >& file.command

file.i:

# 1 "file.c"
unsigned long x = 0xffffffffffffffffUL;
int main()
{
   unsigned long b = (x != 0xffffffffffffffffUL);
   if (b) {
      printf("Failed\n");
   } else {
      printf("Succeeded\n");
   }
   return 0;
}

file.command:
