Actually, that's on a PowerPC with your specific compiler. Another 
compiler might give a different result for the same target. 2#00110011# 
is a perfectly acceptable result. That's why this kind of thing, while 
interesting, is not very useful.

FWIW, with MinGW GNAT 3.4.2 targeting Windows XP on an AMD Turion64 X2, 
Z is 2#11110000#.
