FWIW, the C standard doesn't actually specify the absolute size of an int--it only specifies its size relative to the other integral types: sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)

That said, in practice, int is probably 32 bits on everything you'd want to svn on. It's 16 bits on some microcontrollers, for example. And I think it's 64 bits on a supercomputer or two.
