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/
08_xfree86_
105_nvidia_
168_glibc_
188_default_
