does not compile due to the -fPIC issue. No way to compile it also following these steps: http://dev.gentoo.org/~plasmaroo/devmanual/archs/amd64/ Not happy, because I've the same problem with the "synaptics" package (bug #102156), I investigated what are the shared libraries on my system using grep on emerge's log files and recompiled those (few) libraries with -fPIC option directly (and temporarely) in the make.conf. I did it for all libraries included xorg-x11. Well, I had the confirmation of another bug about xorg-x11-6.8.2-r2, already encountered: if I try to recompile, also upgrade xorg-x11 it don't start (sorry I can't reproduce this). Luckely I backuped before recompiling the only xorg-x11 and tried again, this time not recompiling it. No way, mplayer fails to compile. Everything else is fine, the system is flying.
