Hello,
We still have troubles with the `(scm_t_int32) (x) < 0' test in
`SCM_MAKE_CHAR ()':

l...@gcc54:~/guile-1.9.1/+build$ cat ,,t.c

foo (unsigned char x)
{
return (((int)x) < 0 ? 1 : -1);
}
l...@gcc54:~/guile-1.9.1/+build$ gcc -Wall -c ,,t.c
,,t.c: In function ‘foo’:
,,t.c:4: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type

The problem occurs, e.g., in `string_titlecase_x ()'.
Surprisingly, GCC 4.4 on x86_64-linux-gnu doesn't yield any warning for
the example above.
I'm not sure how to fix it, so we'll see for the next release.
Thanks,
Ludo'.
