Well, then you need to complain about avr-gcc. ;-)  It's very simple:
the compiler simply doesn't provide and 32-bit integer type in
-mint8 mode.  You can easily verify this by using avr-gcc -E -dD.

-mint8 is in violation of the standard anyway, int needs to cover at
least the range of -32767 to 32767.
