Hmm, C99 standard says that right shift with a negative value is implementation
specific:
E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined.
gcc-10 generates a bare "shr", i.e. doesn't special case negative values, and "shr"
is explicitly defined as an unsigned divide.
