"sizeof(int)" could yield 1. It depends on how large an implementation
chooses to make a "byte" and an int.  IOW, a byte ain't necessarilly 8 bits
long (CHAR_BIT >= 8). If a byte (and therefore also a char) were 16 bits
long, and an int were also 16 bits long, which could satisfy the limits
constraints, the following would all yield 1:

   sizeof(char)
   sizeof(int)
   sizeof c
   sizeof c + 1

Admittedly, most implementations choose to make a "byte" 8 bits long, but
there are some who do not.
