1.) the 'char reg'  ''bug'' has been reported to me by bruce long ago
    and is fixed. I replaced it by short, but I do not mind replacing
    it by 'int'
    The story is that I wanted to check how much memory can be saved
    using such dirty tricks and I found that it is very little, since
    most of the memory are really pointers.

2.) The assembler output is not Sun-specific. With two #defines
    (concerning the smov/movs opcode and the semantics of the .align
    directive), the output is suitable for the GAS assembler as well.
