The errors I get when I emerge vlc on the amd64 follows below:

g++  -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall  -finline-limit-30000 -pipe   -o libvlcplugin.so libplugin_a-vlcshell.o libplugin_a-vlcplugin.o libplugin_a-vlcpeer.o   libplugin_a-npunix.o   \
  ../lib/libvlc_pic.a -shared \
  `top_builddir=".." ../vlc-config --libs vlc mozilla builtin pic`
