hmm, comment #21 is not the right solution ...  (even if it works)

... the right solution is either  
   (a) to handle arrays of arbitrary-sized ints in fix_string_type () (without
assuming that they are whar when not explicitly set to
char{,16,32}_array_type_node)

   or

   (b) to force the type of CPP_OBJC_STRING to be char{,16,32}_array_type_node
as appropriate.

a. might look something like:

   else
     {

b. needs some more investigation.

thoughts?
