This commit message is not good, try:

_mm_shuffle_epi8 requires 0x80 to set the output byte to zero, but
_mm_set_epi8() accepts char. If gcc is compiling in a configuration
with a signed char then it can produce a -Werror=overflow warning.

And this fix is wrong, since it just moves the warning to
configurations that have an unsigned char. (eg -funsigned-char)

It is really broken that the _mm_set_epi uses a char as input :|

I think you need to do this instead:

#include <limits.h>
#if CHAR_MIN < 0
#define SHUFFLE_IGNORE  -128
#else
#define SHUFFLE_IGNORE  0x80
#endif
