[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] configure: avoid warning in endian testing

[Giorgio]

Hello,

this is probably not very important, but while reading the configure
script and its output on my Linux x86-64 box I noticed the following
warning:

##########################################

============ Checking for byte order ============

short ascii_name[] = {
(('M'<<8)|'P'),(('l'<<8)|'a'),(('y'<<8)|'e'),(('r'<<8)|'B'),

(('i'<<8)|'g'),(('E'<<8)|'n'),(('d'<<8)|'i'),(('a'<<8)|'n'),0};
int main(void) { return (int)ascii_name; }

cc    /tmp/mplayer-configure--17275/tmp.c -I.      -o
/tmp/mplayer-configure--17275/tmp
/tmp/mplayer-configure--17275/tmp.c: In function 'main':
/tmp/mplayer-configure--17275/tmp.c:3: warning: cast from pointer to
integer of different size


Result is: little-endian
##########################################

I think this happens because pointers are 8 bytes in x86-64. So, since
the return value of the executable file is not used, in order to avoid
the warning I propose the attached patch. Please apply if you think
this can be useful.
Regards,

Giorgio Vazzana
