-Wconversion is broken for 'short' parameters.

Hello,

I have tested the following example with -Wconversion:
 void foo(short);
 int main()
 {
   short s=1;
   foo(s);
   return 0;
 }

This gives the following (obviously wrong) warning:
   warning: passing arg 1 of `foo' with different width due to prototype

gcc versions tested:
1.  gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
2.  gcc version 2.96 20000722 (experimental)


  Michael
