I disagree here, -pedantic is there to show you things that are not strictly
ANSI C and are gcc extensions. Since long long is a gcc extension fixing
-pedantic to ignore it kind of makes -pedantic useless. The better solution
is as the man page says: Use __extension__ or use the __ keywords for
the offending parts.

There are ways around this, see above.
