There are only two possible types for raw byte blob: void * and 
unsigned char *. The specifications typically require void * to avoid cast 
warnings, as is indeed the case for the socket API or more generally the Unix 
I/O functions. signed char * is however plain wrong.

In other words, the cast in patch is a useless no-op on ARM, and AFAICT wrong 
on x86. Thus -1.
