x.c:

  #include <stdio.h>

  int
  main(void)
  {
    fprintf(stdout, "%u\n", (unsigned)sizeof 2147483648);
    return 0;
  }

The following script:

  for I in c89 gnu89 c99 gnu99; do
    echo "==== $I ===="
    gcc -m32 -o x -std=$I x.c
    ./x
  done

outputs:

==== c89 ====
x.c: In function 'main':
x.c:6:3: warning: this decimal constant is unsigned only in ISO C90
[enabled by default]
   fprintf(stdout, "%u\n", (unsigned)sizeof 2147483648);
