[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

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

(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.
