Your right.  We do not have enough of her code.  I tried this:

#include <stdio.h>
unsigned char Receiver = 0;

int     main(void)
{
        Receiver = 0x00;
        printf( "Receiver -=>%c\n", Receiver  );
        return(0);
}

compiled it with:

gcc -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic -Wbad-function-cast -Wcast-align \
                -Wcast-qual -Wchar-subscripts -Winline \
                -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith \
              -Wredundant-decls -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes zz.c -o zz

and no warnings....
