Actually mksyntax is truly broken for any serious cross builds!
- try building for an EBCDIC target, or one with 9 (or even 10)
bit characters.

gcc features could be used to build the tables.  However since
almost all the entries are 'WORD' (ie 0) creating them during
shell startup wouldn't be a big problem.

Indexing the table with unsigned chars would also help!
(In fact building the whole thing with unsigned chars would
help - except gcc would bleat at every printf.)
