This patch is irritating :(  The Linux manpage says

"These functions check whether c, which must have the value of an
unsigned char or EOF..."

so it's legit enough.

Apart from being ugly, it isn't very maintainable: people on Linux
systems will add new instances while not including the typecasts.

I wonder if there's anothing we can do in the Makefiles to suppress
that warning in scripts/ for netbsd systems?  ie, disable
-Wchar-subscripts in that case?
