Well, on an amd64, the compiler complains about a cast from a integer to
a pointer of different sizes.  The current kludge that seems to be
employed in -base is to cast your int to (intptr_t) which is defined as
a integer that is at least the same size as a pointer, and then cast to
a pointer from there.
