gcc does generates stupid code sign extending data back and forth.  Help
by using "unsigned int".

add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/3 up/down: 0/-61 (-61)
function                                     old     new   delta
_parse_integer                               128     123      -5

It _still_ does generate useless MOVSX but I don't know how to delete it:

0000000000000070 <_parse_integer>:
...
  a0:   89 c2                   mov    edx,eax
  a2:   83 e8 30                sub    eax,0x30
  a5:   83 f8 09                cmp    eax,0x9
  a8:   76 11                   jbe    bb <_parse_integer+0x4b>
  aa:   83 ca 20                or     edx,0x20
  ad:   0f be c2      ===>      movsx  eax,dl         <===
useless
  b0:   8d 50 9f                lea    edx,[rax-0x61]
  b3:   83 fa 05                cmp    edx,0x5

Patch also helps on embedded archs which generally only like "int".  On
arm "and 0xff" is generated which is waste because all values used in
comparisons are positive.
