Subject: [PATCH] m68k: string: Make char intermediate in strcmp() signed
Since char became unsigned, strcmp() always returns a positive number.
"res" is used to store a byte difference, so it should be signed.
Fixes: 3bc753c06dd02a35 ("kbuild: treat char as always unsigned")

I'm wondering how many surprises like this are still hidden...
