This should be a common bug, I tried searching for it but didn't find it, so filing anyway. mplayer needs the -fomit-frame-pointer CFLAG to be present to build succesfully, and fails with the following otherwise according to http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2006-October/063332.html How do ebuilds actually handle this without overriding user-set CFLAGS? At the very least we should eerror if the required CFLAG is not present? cabac.h: In function 'get_cabac_noinline': cabac.h:513: error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while reloading 'asm' make[1]: *** [h264.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc1/work/MPlayer-1.0rc1/libavcodec' make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.a] Error 2 !!!
