According to ISO C99 / N1256 (referenced in HACKING):

Our AddressSpace objects are allocated generally individually, and kept in
the "address_spaces" linked list, so we mustn't compare their addresses
with relops.
Convert the pointers subjected to the relop in rom_order_compare() to
"uintptr_t":

> /uintptr_t/

> These types are optional.
