I'm not sure I'd use the documentation for the Solaris assembler as authoritative for AT&T syntax, but page 17 does say that if the suffix is omitted it defaults to long.

However, that isn't my experience with gas which uses register operands to disambiguate, if possible (although I'm on a phone and can't check right now).
