Yes. You are right. If you try to cast them to "unsigned long long", you 
get the compiler to reveal the true problem:

> keyboard.c:86: warning: initializer element is not computable at load time

Which is, I'm afraid, without solution. The compiler is not smart enough 
to understand that the cast (or a shift of 32 bits) is not really a 
mathematical operation, and will refuse to do it if it doesn't know the 
exact value at compile time. I tried doing the same thing with pointer 
arithmetics, but to no avail (the cast fails). I'm afraid this one 
bested me. I don't see a clean solution to this one.
