After the newest changes, the CI fails on macOS 15 and 26. Namely, there is a
compilation error.

On macOS 26:

depbase=`echo builtin.o | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.o$||'`;\
	gcc    -I../../lib -I../lib -Wall   -g -O2 -MT builtin.o -MD -MP -MF $depbase.Tpo -c -o builtin.o ../../src/builtin.c &&\
	mv -f $depbase.Tpo $depbase.Po
../../src/builtin.c:1165:7: error: operand argument to checked integer operation must be an integer type other than plain 'char', 'bool', bit-precise, or an enumeration ('bool' invalid)
 1165 |   if (ckd_add (&alloc, MAX (digits, min), negative))

   37 | #define ckd_add(R, A, B) __builtin_add_overflow((A), (B), (R))

make[2]: *** [builtin.o] Error 1

Similarly on macOS 15.

Apparently the problem is that 'negative' is of type 'bool'.

The attached proposed patch fixes it.
