That's also why people implementing ELF use typedefs instead of ints, etc., and 
have special code to deal with endianness, which is also implementation defined.

Despite all this implementation defined behavior in C, there are some things 
that while pedantically implementation defined, are in practice consistently 
defined across diverse compilers. The int bitfields, for example.
