[Bug 459014] [NEW] implicit pointer conversions are fatal on 64-bit systems

[LaMont Jones]

Public bug reported:

During rebuild testing of newlib_1.17.0-0ubuntu5:

Function `__libc_dlopen' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../../../../../src/newlib/libc/sys/linux/net/nsswitch.c:349
Function `__libc_dlsym' implicitly converted to pointer at ../../../../../../../src/newlib/libc/sys/linux/net/nsswitch.c:375

At some point during the life of an amd64 system, these bugs will prove
fatal to the app.
