Or you were programming in C on an Analog Devices SHARC were char was 32

I'll bet that broke a lot of bad code :)

Stll even in that environment a compliant compiler should still
provide int<n>_t types. They'd probably have to have horrendously
inefficient implementations not dissimilar to the bitfields in structs but
they should exist. Woe betide anyone who thought they could put a char into
an int16_t safely though.
