A good starting point would be fixing the code that chokes on
-Wpointer-sign :-)

I just arbitrarily checked sbin/newfs_sysvbfs and it doesn't appear
there's any reason to keep the -Wno-pointer-sign; it compiles cleanly
without it using both -fsigned-char and -funsigned-char.

Maybe after 5.0 is branched someone (probably me) should go through
that list and clean out the special cases that are no longer required.
