rpm, ppc and -fsigned-char

[wrobell]

$ rpm --showrc | grep fsigned-char
optflags              : -O2 -fsigned-char%{!?nospecflags:%{?specflags: %{specflags}}%{?specflags_ppcpseries: %{specflags_ppcpseries}}}
-11: optflags   -O2 -fsigned-char%{!?nospecflags:%{?specflags: %{specflags}}%{?specflags_ppc: %{specflags_ppc}}}

As i understand it comes from rpm-rpmrc.patch.

It generates a lot of noise due to char unsignedness on ppc platform.
For example many string.h functions use just char, it defaults to singed char
and properly written code gives warnings about signedness.

Any reason to keep fsigned-char in this patch?
