218	define jbyte as signed char	Yuri Dario		"In the OS/2 sdk, jni_mh.h defines the following types:

{{{
#ifdef __GNUC__
typedef int jint;
typedef __int64_t jlong;
typedef char jbyte;
#else
typedef long jint;
typedef __int64 jlong;
typedef signed char jbyte;
#endif
}}}

but the __GNUC__ defines are different from default ones on other platforms.

When building Apache OpenOffice, errors are issued because there isn't a direct cast from signed char to char, even if signed char is the default setting (they are treated as different types).
