+Subject: [PATCH] backtrace.c: Fix word cast to a pointer
+
+backtrace.c uses a word size provided by libunwind. In some
+architectures like MIPS, libunwind makes that word size 64-bit for all
+variants of the architecture.
+
+In the lines #90 and #98, backtrace.c tries to do a cast to a pointer,
+which fails in all MIPS variants with 32-bit pointers, like MIPS32 or
+MIPS64 n32, because it's trying to do a cast from a 64-bit wide variable
+to a 32-bit pointer:
+
+Making all in os
+make[2]: Entering directory
+`/home/test/test/1/output/build/xserver_xorg-server-1.15.1/os'
+  CC     WaitFor.lo
+  CC     access.lo
+  CC     auth.lo
+  CC     backtrace.lo
+backtrace.c: In function 'xorg_backtrace':
+backtrace.c:90:20: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
+[-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
+        if (dladdr((void *)(pip.start_ip + off), &dlinfo) &&
+dlinfo.dli_fname &&
+                   ^
+backtrace.c:98:13: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size
+[-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast]
+            (void *)(pip.start_ip + off));
+            ^
+cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
+make[2]: *** [backtrace.lo] Error 1
+make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
+
+Making the cast to a pointer-sized integer, and then to a pointer fixes
+the problem.
