To answer my own question: gettext just uses strcmp which in few common
libc I've checked (glibc, uclibc, FreeBSD, illumos libc) all take care
of using unsigned comparisons. However this isn't part of C99 specification.
Should I propose a patch to update the documentation and add a unit-test
to check that strcmp behaves as expected to avoid generating incorrect MOs?
