Public bug reported:

make_limits function (Kern/rstr/src/cutpoint.c) falls into an infinite
loop if the "char" type is unsigned. (Whether it is signed or unsigned
is implementation defined, and it's in fact unsigned by default on some
architectures.)

Because there are probably many other places where it is assumed thar
"char" is signed, I propose the following work-around:

if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCC)
    add_definitions("-fsigned-char")
endif()
