XFS on Irix gets to assume chars are unsigned, which is not true
on Linux, so we use the -funsigned-char option when we build it.
Getting rid of this would be nice; we can explicitly define unsigned
chars when we need them.  The trick is figuring out when we need them.  :)

These changes should fix the international character problems some were
seeing when -funsigned-char was turned off; if some of those brave souls
could turn off -funsigned-char on their machines and give it another go,
reports of success or failure would be welcome.  :)

Thanks to Andi Kleen for the first part of this change.
