try ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r2 please.
Tried r2 and it has the same problem.
Do you have a backtrace for this?
Unfortunately I don't (mine would be useless) but the only way I can get -r2 working is to comment out the libdir-pic patch in the ebuild.
Try the latest xine-lib again. I had a problematic mmx pic patch that's been removed. It will (hopefully) solve the issue.
Neither xine-lib nor ffmpeg has pic useflag in latest ebuilds, this should be closed now, i think. Can you confirm this?
The latest ffmpeg seems to have fixed the problem.
