After my changes selftests are passing both with old and new
constraint semantics, so such macro definitions / compiler flags
are not necessary for selftests.
(Although, I have not yet checked the codegen difference,
 so the absence of the "(short)" thing might be visible there).

As for Cilium / Tetragon: I checked verification of the object files
with both LLVM versions, but adding compiler flag might make sense.
Maybe compiler users should comment?
