On AArch64, libc::c_char is u8. There are some places in the code where i8 is assumed, which causes compilation errors.

(AArch64 is not officially supported yet, but this change does not hurt any other targets and makes the code future-proof.)

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @brson (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. The way Github handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.
