Hi!

The following patch attempts to document the PR36113 changes to the
GNU C extension support of enumerators which don't fit into int.

Ok for wwwdocs?

Shall we mention it in porting_to.html as well?
The only known affected package is (was?) the Linux kernel.

+    <li>The behavior of the GNU C extension support of enumerators which
+      don't fit into <code>int</code> has been changed to match the C2X
+      behavior.  Previously, in enumerations where at least one enumerator
+      didn't fit into <code>int</code>, only those enumerators that didn't
+      fit into <code>int</code> had the <code>enum</code> type and others
+      had <code>int</code> type and while the <code>enum</code> is being
+      defined enumerators that didn't fit into <code>int</code> had some
+      unspecified type with the sign and precision of its value.
+      In GCC13, in such enumerations all enumerators have the
+      <code>enum</code> type and while the <code>enum</code> is being
+      defined enumerators that didn't fit into <code>int</code> have
+      type of their value.  If all enumerators fit into <code>int</code>
+      type, as before all enumerators have <code>int</code> type, both
+      while the <code>enum</code> is being defined and after it is defined.
+      See <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/PR36113";>PR36113</a> for details.
