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.
