I hate this function. And it has a branch if your table patch doesn't
go it. And it is beartrap (unsigned int = -1 < base).

ACK *s++ bit, though. Should make code smaller in my experience.
Please, change to "unsigned char c; while ((c = *s++)".
This is about maximum code compression I can understand.

Just do |= KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW here directly, it is the leftmost bit.
