Attachment: Breakpad processor: Work around overload resolution problems in stream pos_type comparisons

When building with G++ 4.1.2, src/processor/cfi_frame_info.cc fails to
build with the error below. G++ 4.2.1 and later do not seem to report this
problem.

This patch works around the problem by casting stream.tellp() to
std::streamoff before doing the comparison.

src/processor/cfi_frame_info.cc: In member function `std::string google_breakpad::CFIFrameInfo::Serialize() const':
src/processor/cfi_frame_info.cc:105: error: ambiguous overload for `operator!=' in `stream.std::basic_ostringstream<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >::<anonymous>.std::basic_ostream<_CharT, _Traits>::tellp [with _CharT = char, _Traits = std::char_traits<char>]() != 0'
src/processor/cfi_frame_info.cc:105: note: candidates are: operator!=(std::streamoff, int) <built-in>
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/bits/postypes.h:143: note:                 bool std::fpos<_StateT>::operator!=(const std::fpos<_StateT>&) const [with _StateT = __mbstate_t]
