If 'char' is unsigned by default, then init_qi will contain { 226, 226, 206, 
206} and test_qi { 141, 141, 25, 25 }, which will result in the comparison 
against -30 failing when the previous value of AC[0] is implicitly promoted to 
signed int. This can be fixed by making the array element types explicitly signed.

This issue is tracked as issue 96519 on the tracker. I have checked that the 
test now passes on PowerPC and Aarch64. Is the fix okay for trunk?

Thanks

    Fix gcc.dg/ia64-sync-5.c for architectures with unsigned char as default 
(PR 96519)
    
    If char is unsigned, then comparisons of the char array elements against
    negative integers in the test will fail as values in the array will always
    be positive, and will remain so when promoted to signed int.
