[kbuild-devel] Re: [PATCH 1/2] Fix signed char problem in scripts/basic

[Pierre Ossman]

The signed characters in scripts are causing warnings with GCC 4 on systems 
with proper string functions (with char*, not signed char* as parameters). All 
signed strings were removed because they were all directly or indirectly used 
in string functions.
