Where do you see that?  Section 3.1.2.5 requires that an int be able to
hold all integers in the range INT_MIN to INT_MAX and that its range
be no less than that of short int and no more than that of long int.
Nowhere do I find a requirement that
sizeof(int)==sizeof(short)||sizeof(int)==sizeof(long).
