Yes, it looks (and is) wrong, but still works on ARM. The two's
complement representation of signed numbers nicely provides identical
results for addition, subtraction and multiplication even if signed
and unsigned types are mixed as long as the operands and the result
have the same width.

But something unexpectedly broke on PowerPC and maybe other big
endian systems after the following commit:
