After the newest changes, the CI fails on macOS 15 and 26. Namely, there is a
compilation error.
On macOS 26:
depbase=`echo builtin.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
gcc -I../../lib -I../lib -Wall -g -O2 -MT builtin.o -MD -MP -MF
$depbase.Tpo -c -o builtin.o ../../src/builtin.c &&\
mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
../../src/builtin.c:1165:7: error: operand argument to checked integer
operation must be an integer type other than plain 'char', 'bool', bit-precise,
or an enumeration ('bool' invalid)

make[2]: *** [builtin.o] Error 1
Similarly on macOS 15.
Apparently the problem is that 'negative' is of type 'bool'.
The attached proposed patch fixes it.
