The assembly code egcs emits from cc -S (with or without -O/-O2/-O3) seems
sane - it boils down to:

.L8:
        movl %esi,%ebx
        sall %cl,%ebx
        jmp .L7
        .align 4
.L9:
        movl %esi,%ebx
        sarl %cl,%ebx

So the 386 is doing something "interesting".

./shift r 0x7fffffff 34
shr 0x7fffffff, 0x22 -> 0x1fffffff

Neato.
