I think the actual bug lies elsewhere: m4 is written as if int32_t arithmetic
wraps around silently, but that's not what C does. If I'm right, the bug is not
in the FreeBSD C compiler, it's i

There are some other places where the m4 code assumes wrapv arithmetic (or
worse, where it messes up in other ways on integer overflow). Attached is a
patch that fixes some of the prob
