This is too large by one bit for our 32-bit unsigned long on Windows:

archive-tar.c: In function 'write_tar_entry': archive-tar.c:295: warning: integer constant is too large for 'unsigned long' type archive-tar.c: In function 'write_global_extended_header': archive-tar.c:332: warning: integer constant is too large for 'unsigned long' type archive-tar.c:335: warning: integer constant is too large for 'unsigned long' type archive-tar.c:335: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion
