  I don't know about "all occurences", but if there aren't any
  objections I plan to commit the patch attached.
  
  (I checked and gcc produces the same code for -1-(long)l as for
  (long)~l, even at -O0)

This patch seems to be pending still.  I haven't looked at it carefully.
Does it solve real problems out there?  Then perhaps we ought to include
this for 5.0.4?
