Nope. On the target in question (AVR), an "int" is 16 bits (at least
by default). Same for msp430 (and maybe for some of the H8 targets).
I think there is a command-line option for some 16-bit targets to tell
gcc to use 32-bit representations for "int" instead of the defautl 16
bits.

If, like AVR and msp430, an "int" is 16 bits, then you must cast at
least one of the two operands to a 32 bit integer type if you want a
16x16=>32 multiply.
