OK, I see now. I had understood "C" to stand for the traditional C
behavior and not the less-well-specified behavior of the
POSIX-specified C locale.

I was thinking more of digital signal processors. For example, I
believe the Freescale (formely Motorola) compilers define CHAR_BIT to
be 32 for some of their CPUs. Admittedly I'm not a DSP weenie so I
don't know how popular those systems actually are. Perhaps we could
ask the GNU Radio folks.
