It's certainly not the default, but given the sort of history and longevity that surround many mainframe installations, I wouldn't be surprised if some folks do.
Given all the problems mentioned (including some in the proposed patches), let's give up on trying to support any such folks. If they want to build gnulib-using software on z/OS, they'll have to build with the default configuration in which char is unsigned. It wouldn't be practical for us to try to support char being signed when standard chars have the top bit set. With that in mind I installed the attached further patch, which simplifies the recent changes to c-ctype quite a bit.
