The standard allows "char" to be either signed or unsigned.  The ARM ABI
defines char as unsigned.

I recall that Lattice C on the M68K allowed either signed or unsigned char
via a flag.  Setting it to "unsigned" generally produced faster code on
my Amiga, though some code assumed signed chars and broke.
