I got the following QA notices after my last merge. This is a multilib build on amd64; I have LIBDIR_x86=lib, so it is complaining about the 32-bit libraries. * Messages for package media-video/libav-11.3: * QA Notice: The following files contain runtime text relocations * Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra * work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security * risk.

I suppose the TEXTRELs are probably the same issue as bug 499256, which hasn't been looked at in around 6 months.
Removed a while ago.
