fix for screen 5 + big endian 64 bit systems

a commit to screen back in 2016 broke 64 bit big endian platforms. (yes it's a
size_t != int * thing, yay!)

The screen bug - https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?item_id=67607 - the
diff hasn't been landed.

The redhat bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2418337 - this has
a diff

I've attached the diff here. We should consider adding it to the port so screen
on powerpc64 big endian continues to work.
