integral type to the size of a pointer type when it's known that the
cast is valid. On ia64 such casts are generally bad news and has led
us (=peter :-) to make such casts fatal. By casting to intptr_t
before casting to a pointer type, this now compiles cleanly in LP64
architectures. Note that the final cast has been changed to void*
(instead of siginfo_t*) to make it explicit that we're not trying to
pass a siginfo_t pointer but rather trying to pass an int when the
prototype says it should be a pointer.
