HOST_WIDE_INT_UC doesn't exactly make the code more readable, IMO.

It is passed here directly to GEN_INT, so as long as the suffix makes it
a big enough type all is well.  There are many occurrences of this in
the tree already, including another in this same file.

Soon we will require C++11 and we won't need any suffixes on hexadecimal
literals anymore, in all common cases (all sane cases one could say).
So we don't have to discuss this anymore :-)
