the compiler correctly marks it as unsigned int and uses the
correct shift operator and types in the resulting tree, but it goes wrong

eh?  it most certainly _can_ be represented as an int
if your machine has 32 bit ints.  all the world's a vax :)
until you hit the stupidity digital did with compiler
for the alpha.  int was always >= 16 bits and intended to
be the native machine 'word' size.
