I'm using GNU C 1.41 under COFF encapsulation on this 386/ix 2.0.2
system.  The GNU C documentation says:

    `-mshort'
          Consider type `int' to be 16 bits wide, like `short int'.

But experience says otherwise:

   gcc -ansi -Di386 -O -DSYSV=1 -mshort -c arc.c
   gcc-cc1: Invalid option `short'

By the way, gcc.info does not confirm which version of GNU C it
pertains to.  The GNU standards dictate:

      The title page of the manual should state the version of the
   program which the manual applies to.  The Top node of the manual
   should also contain this information.
