This is a really simple suggestion so please don't think that I'm trying to
insult your intelligence.

Anyway... Manx shifted from 16 bit compiles as the default to 32 bit with
the newest version.  Could it be that you want the -ps option?  I was able to
shift my own code over to 16 bit ints thanks to the new support for prototypes
(which translates to: I used to try 16 bit ints but got to see Mr. Guru a
whole lot, so I ended up with 32 bit ints).
