One quick side note, just because it mapped to signed int on that Linux,
doesn't mean it will always map to signed int on all Linuxes. One of the
reasons for the multiple levels of indirection in types is to allow a
given distribution to configure some parameter types to be 'optimal' for
that implementation.
