Can you give me the "scanelf -n libvlcplugin.so" output?

I'm showing the same error on an AMD X2 with a 32bit ~x86 current for both seamonkey and firefox.
Here's a workaround. Add the line export LD_PRELOAD=libXt.so to your /usr/bin/firefox. Don't forget to do it again if you upgrade Firefox, since you'll start getting the mysterious crashes again (and by then you will have forgotten what you had done.)
Please in a couple of hours try to sync, get vlc-0.8.5-r5, make sure it has PATCHLEVEL set to 27 in ebuild, and try again, the problem should be fixed.

This is gonna be fixed in 0.8.6.
