FWIW, the patch below is alternative way to deal with these (Note, I didn't test my patch, just demonstrating the idea).
It's quite simple, and should work on any gcc version.
This approach wouldn't work well for CONFIG dependent max values, especially in case of single constant
expression being dependent on several config options, but it seems we don't have any these.
