Title:
  Xorg segfaults on start-up on Big Endian PPC hardware

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in xorg-server source package in Xenial:
  New

Bug description:
  On my Big Endian PowerPC machine, Xorg segfaults when starting. I have
  been able to confirm that this does not happen when building Xorg from
  upstream source, and then further confirmed that the source of the
  segfault appears to be caused by a non-upstreamed, ubuntu specific
  patch.

  When building the xorg-server-1.18.3 deb from source, I commented out
  the following patches from debian/patches/series to try to isolate the
  source of the crash. With the following patches not-applied, and the
  resulting .deb package built, the segfault on start does not occur.
