GCC 4 and signedness

I just updated breezy today, and noticed that GCC4 was being installed. 
Since it has been installed almost all the projects I have been working 
on, are getting at least 10

"pointer targets in passing argument 1 of 
‘gaim_uri_list_extract_filenames’ differ in signedness"

or similar. My question is why is it complaining that, in an example of 
strcmp, I am comparing unsigned char* with a char*? The point is I don't 
care the sign, all I care about is if they are the same. Or am I missing 
a very simple thing about signedness?
