I have no idea about makedoc either. :)

Looking a bit at the code, I assume that chaning it to a Xintptr_t
would have to propagate back to the declarations of istack and isp
around line 220. And that may result in changing more variables
from int to Xintptr_t. I can take a swing at it it you think that is an
OK way to fix the warning.

FWIW Looks like very old and crusty code. I see odd spacing,
and an if 0 section.
