quiting X warnings in /bin/sh

On 'i386' one gets several "comparison is always true due to limited
range of data type" warnings when compiling bin/sh because PEOF is -129
and SYNBASE is 129.  Which of course are outside the range of an 8-bit
character.  I think the correct fix is the patch below to give a range of
-128..128 in the signed character case, and -1..1 in the unsigned
character case.
