Is there are #define symbol which allows to determine if 'char' is signed or unsigned? CHARUNSIGNED, maybe?

You could define an autoconf test for that. There is no predefined symbol.

I guess the buildbot failures on the ppc debian box are caused by ctypes using signed chars always.

So you think char is unsigned on ppc debian? I would find that very surprising.
