Thanks, good to know the full situation. I'll try to remember not to use uint8_t that way in the future, just in case. I looked briefly previously and somehow got the sense that extended types could only be larger than standard types, but this time I found that 6.3.1.1 explicitly mentions same width extended types. Personally, I've been happy with GCC's decisions on such issues.
