_intcmp_ complains when given non-integer input:

$ make --eval '$(error [$(intcmp hello,7,small,same,large)])'
make: *** non-numeric first argument to 'intcmp' function: 'hello'.  Stop.


It is quite happy parsing negative input:

$ make --eval '$(error [$(intcmp -8,7,small,same,large)])'
make: *** [small].  Stop.


But gets this one *wrong*:

$ make --eval '$(error [$(intcmp -8,-7,small,same,large)])'
make: *** [large].  Stop.


Gnu make 4.4.1 on Fedora 39, package make-4.4.1-2.fc39.x86_64
