Description
make check causes an error on Linux/PPC. I caught that when trying the make-refactoring branch, but could also reproduce it for 4.5.0 (the release tarball).
The logs are attached.
Nevermind the /home/mario/chicken-safer-scheduler prefix in make-check-make-refacoring.log -- it's really the make-refactoring branch (I don't know where my mind was when I typed PREFIX=/home/mario/chicken-safer-scheduler...).

Just checked and it fails here too (NetBSD/macppc). This is the old "characters are unsigned by default on some platforms" problem we've had before in the FFI.
This means "char *" is equivalent to "unsigned char *", which is easy to fix; just put an explicit "signed" in front of each bare "char". A patch follows.
