Unfortunately because GCC is schizophrenic.
As although it has no problems assigning variables to each other which
only differ in sign-ness (which may alter a value), it feels compelled
warn about operations on pointers to such values (which are harmless).
(arguably it seems that the best remedy would be to correct GCC, not attempt
to appease it; as alternatively if all char's become gdb_byte, then might as
well revert gdb_byte use, and simply compile with 'unsigned char'.)
