Overflows when doing constant optimization is a mess -- I think c68
may well have problems with this, too.

Stripping everything to 16 bits might be a solution, but causes unwanted
results in other places. Stripping it to 16 bits when shipping out
the assembler statement should be OK in all cases since all the
constant terms are collected in a single additive term when folding
such a constant.

.. have to try this with c68 ..
