I agree completely- that's what I called the "pen-knife" approach in my post.  Of
course it could take a bit longer, but then, I haven't yet built without
-fsigned_char to see if it works...

So this fix should *not* be propagated upstream, if it's used at all, since it
only makes sense if someone builds on an unsigned char platform using
-fsigned_char everywhere.

Is someone else going to test it without -fsigned_char, and debug if it fails?  If
nobody replies, I'll get around to it "eventually" (it takes several hours to
build on my 160 MHz 603e at home with 1.3 MB/sec disk bandwidth, otherwise I'd do
it sooner), but this fix works for now until there's something better.

Zeen,
