  Ugh.  The result of subtracting two pointers is usually a signed
integer.  If you're pedantic, "ptrdiff_t".  The compiler shouldn't
require a cast to "int".

  I'm not opposed to adding it, but it really doesn't do anything for
ISO C compatible compilers.

  While this patch works for you, it will break every single other
system.  So it can't be added to the distribution.
