This is good advice. 

The compiler is free to treat type char as either signed or unsigned.
It's up to the programmer to use type signed char or unsigned char
explicitly if that is really what is desired. As long as the OP's code
was written with these rules in mind, telling the compiler to treat type
char as unsigned should work around the compiler bug.
