Both gcc and clang have an extension for binary integer constants. In gcc's case this has been around since 4.3.
The mesa backend for newer intel parts (i965) assumes this extension is present in recent versions. Below is a diff to add support for this to our in tree gcc4. While the i965 backend is only built on gcc4 archs the concern is that abuse of this extension in ports or other places may make gcc3/gcc2 archs worse off unless similiar patches can be done... >From http://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=patch;h=d7282a2b2cacdf62e80c1f29f06933f38a70d743 still under the GPLv2.
