gcc bugfix seems to be creating more trouble that its worth. please
revert it before we release 4.3.10.

Yes, given the implications I believe a reversion would be wise.

THis is a change most likely caused by Joe's patches to it. I say we
should revert it as it breaks too many scripts.

I see your point, and I'm happy that integers are unsigned.  

What worries me is that large hex initialisers (>= 0x80000000) are not
doing their job.

This is a change in behaviour.

Python v 2.4 and above, uses Large Integers for 0x80000000 which seems
acceptable.  In previous versions it did the Right Thing and treated
0x80000000 as -214783648.  Bitwise operations work as expected.

PHP did the Right Thing in version 4.3.8.  As of the current snapshot
it no longer does the Right Thing.

>This is *not* a signed/unsigned integer problem 
No, why? It is.
And it can be clearly seen in this example:
<?
define ("BIG_NUM", 0x80000000);
$big_var = 0x80000000;
printf("%u, %u\n", BIG_NUM, $big_var);
printf("%f, %f\n", BIG_NUM, $big_var);
?>

Overflown integers are treated as floats and you cannot use bitwise
operators on floats (as I understand you use them to check access
privileges).
