Attachments: Fixed ebuild which forces gif on when giflib >= 5 is used
Patch for mplayer when it does attempt to build with giflib 5

Description Andrew John Hughes 2013-02-15 05:35:57 UTC
configure will fail to pick up giflib 5 and, because the ebuild does not force it, mplayer will build but without gif support.

Reproducible: Always

This is necessary as the test fails due to gif_lib.h now requiring sys/types.h as a prerequisite, which the mplayer test doesn't allow for.
