Do you mean a host where UCHAR_MAX > 255?  I doubt whether anyone has
done that.  POSIX requires that UCHAR_MAX == 255.  A small fraction of
GNU code is portable to hosts where UCHAR_MAX > 255, but usually this
is more for the amusement of the author than anything else.

If you meant sizeof (char) > 1, then I really doubt whether anyone has
done that.  C has required that sizeof (char) == 1 for ages.
