I doubt it, given the various other nonportable assumptions NetBSD
already makes, such as all-0-bits being a nil pointer (xprt_register()
in lib/libc/rpc/svc.c, or the example in getaddrinfo(3)), or char being
8 bits (the widespread use of uint8_t, which I don't think can exist
unless char is 8 bits).
