Thanks for the report. I've produced it and can see that the problem
is assigning
the value of "(1 << 31)" to an 'unsigned long' struct member. Since this is
a signed integer overflow, the result is technically undefined behavior,
which gcc-5 does not accept as an integer constant.

The patch below fixes it for me, but I have not checked if there are any
other instances. This could also be done using the 'BIT()' macro if the
XFS maintainers prefer:
