+slang: change char type to signed char in macros
+
+C language has 3 distinct char types:
+         char
+         unsigned char
+         signed char
+A char has the same range of values as signed char on X86,
+but same as unsigned char on ARM which made Slang's typecast()
+and array_sort() unable to work for char value on ARM, since
+Slang is assuming "char" as "signed char".
+
+Now we change "char" as "signed char" explicitly in
+util/mkslarith2.sl, and use it to regenerate src/slarith2.inc

+ mode) fixed
+
+char *str points to SLuchar_Type utf8_buf[], which had too small scope

+SUMMARY = "The shared library for the S-Lang extension language"
+
+DESCRIPTION = "S-Lang is an interpreted language and a programming library.  The \
+S-Lang language was designed so that it can be easily embedded into \
+a program to provide the program with a powerful extension language. \
+The S-Lang library, provided in this package, provides the S-Lang \
+extension language.  S-Lang's syntax resembles C, which makes it easy \
+to recode S-Lang procedures in C if you need to."
