There was a Fedora bug below:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1470995

I posted a fix here but bobody responsed, I think I obviously did not
consider the "trust build system only" point from Linus:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2017-November/019632.html

But either above patch or defining a macro for the "1UL" in cert header
file works.

Since nobody reviewed my patch so later I submitted a Fedora only patch
which is similar with Yannik's and merged in Fedora tree:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1450772&action=edit
