--- Comment #1 from Joseph Myers <jsm28 at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The choice of these types is fairly arbitrary, and there are trade-offs between
speed of individual operations and speed of a whole program (if e.g. using a
wider type increases cache usage). Given the arbitrariness, there is no bug
here, and in any case the choice is an ABI so should not be changed after a
release has been made with a given choice.
