Comment 0 for bug 1581076

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:
