State-Changed-Why:
option values are passed to the C compiler, so you'll have to play by its 
rules.
Decimal constants are signed; if you want to be sure a constant is
unsigned, you have to append U or express is as hexadecimal.

I guess a reminder about this should be added to options(4), but the
behaviour you observed is to be expected.
