Subject: Make sure the value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.32-rc1~383

Make sure the value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32

abs() will truncate the input if is it outside the 2^32 range.  Fix that
by assuming `long' input.

This might generate worse code in the common case.
