This is normally determined by the platform's ABI.  All the Linux
implementations I know of have a char type with a sign, but IMHO
changing the code is the better option, since using -fsigned-char may
make your source code incompatible with assumptions made in a
(non-Linux) system's header files.

In any case that change is harmless in the presence of -fsigned-char.
