   I wouldn't have.  They're both unsigned, they're both integers, and they're 
both 16 bits.  HImode is the internal GCC type that gets mapped to C short 
ints.  Why do you think they would differ?

   I think we just add 'int' where it's missing from longs and long longs and 
we're done.  And there should be a handy test-case to reduce from the octave 
sources.

     cheers,
