54	pointer-s8-ref should explicitly use signed char	sjamaan	felix winkelmann	"On some architectures (PowerPC, ARM), ""char"" is unsigned by default. On these platforms, the lolevel tests fail.  This can be fixed simply by adding the ""signed"" qualifier:

{{{
(define pointer-s8-ref
  (getter-with-setter
     (foreign-lambda* int ([c-pointer p]) ""return(*((signed char *)p));"")
       pointer-s8-set!) )
