I'm attempting to use "-mshort" for a 68000 target which has a 16 bit
bus. Attempting to run code which works without this option fails with
"-mshort". Before I spend too much time looking at this, is it know
to work? Is anyone using it? Has anyone used it?

I had a bunch of old diffs which claimed to cause the compiler to use
16 bit ints. I'm assuming that this switch performs the same thing
that the patches did.

Baring any info to the contrary, I'll post an isolated piece of code which
causes the problem.
