The code already has an entry like this:

# ifndef GLdouble
typedef GLfloat GLdouble;
# endif

I can submit a patch to gerrit like this:

# ifndef GLchar
typedef GLbyte GLchar;
# endif

Would that be alright? This would fix the regression for systems not
matching the khronos implementation. I do not personally find GLchar in the
specifications.
