I see this with several versions of gcc-3 on Mac OS X as well.  I
haven't built with gcc-2 in a while, since I get library 

If you build with --with-union-type you'll be OK.  (That's why I
didn't see it before, I habitually use union type since it catches the
"return integers from DEFUNs" bugs that I make a lot.)

You could also do the hack that is used for integers and set
Lisp_Type_Char 2 explicitly.
