Oops. Sorry, I thought it was big endian. No idea why. I'll update
subject and description and resend.

Maybe htons() and ntohs() are modeled differently on other architectures,
and the compiler doesn't see the context ?

Double casts are quite common, though. Try 'git grep "(u64)(uintptr_t)"'.
But I think you are right, a cast to (uintptr_t) should be sufficient here.
I'll resend that patch as well.
