FYI:

The following test provides the correct answer on NetBSD with 
#define M_PI            3.14159265358979323846  /* pi */
from the math library header file (note the typecast to float).

------------------------ test.c -----------------------------
#include <math.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

static const float TWO_TO_THE_31 = 2147483648.0;
static const float PI = 3.14159265358979323846;

int main(void)
{
  printf("result = %ld \n", (int32_t)((float) (M_PI / 2.0 * 
TWO_TO_THE_31/PI)));
  return 0;
}
------------------------ test.c -----------------------------

husky: {134} ./test
result = 1073741824
