Re: truncate.c fails to compile on make distcheck

Rather than relying on code inspection to find places where signed ints would be erroneously promoted to unsigned, I went looking for a gcc option to automatically detect this. It's -Wsign-compare which is automatically included in -Wextra. Note it might be good to add to README-hacking to run conf
