Possible C++ bug: Are C enum tags unsigned?

I ask because gcc is reporting a signed/unsigned comparison on line
449 of gcc/cp/cfns.h:
449: else if (index < -TOTAL_KEYWORDS)
Now, 'index' is of type 'int', and thus signed. So, by a process of
elimination, I deduce that TOTAL_KEYWORDS is unsigned. (And, of
course, arithmetic negation of an unsigned value is also unsigned.)
Two questions: (1) Are enum tags _supposed_ to be unsigned?
(2) If so, is this line buggy, or not?
