Public bug reported:
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.
