This is handled by the -traditional flag of gcc(1):

: `-traditional'
:=20
:      Attempt to support some aspects of traditional C compilers.
:      Specifically:
:=20
[...]
:=20
:         * Integer types `unsigned short' and `unsigned char' promote to
:           `unsigned int'.

With -traditional, the code I quoted still produces -1.

In any case, this section doesn't apply to this case because
no conversion described in section 6.10 is ever done here,
since both operands are of the same type, "unsigned char".
