Hi, I had recently a runtime problem on s390 with a package that compiled fine. After a while I figured out that it was caused by the fact that the package owner assumes that a char is signed per default. This is _not_ true on
arm powerpc s390 Since in some cases this wrong assumption results in a warning comparison is always true due to limited range of data type or comparison is always false due to limited range of data type I grepped my archived build logs and found that all packages below have got this problem. Since I have currently not the time to write a bug report for each I would appreciate if the respective owner could look into the problem. A solution is to declare the datatype explicitly as signed char or compile using the option -fsigned-char. The build logs can be found at http://buildd.debian.org/ .
