We could do that as a special case if __HP_cc is defined, as we know that 
particular compiler doesn't work with other-width integers. Does the attached 
(untested) patch work for you?

I'd rather keep the generic code with non-buggy compilers. You're right that 
much of Gnulib fails to work on unusual machines, but when it's easy to support 
the weird ones I'd rather do so, partly because compilers do exist for machines 
with non-powers-of-two widths, partly because it's more fun to be portable.
