What?! I had no idea it dropped 32-bit integers. I'm not exactly 
thrilled with that.

I just wish that there was a switch that causes gcc to not 
automatically promote to int when an expression's arguments are both 
unsigned char.

Oh well. I retract what I said about having -mint8 compatibility as a
