>Description:
If devel/yasm older than 0.6 is installed, devel/SDL from pkgsrc 2007Q1 fails 
on the MMX assembly:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile ./build-scripts/strip_fPIC.sh 
/usr/pkg/bin/yasm -f elf -i ./src/hermes/ -DHIDDEN_VISIBILITY

>How-To-Repeat:
As stated above, build devel/SDL with a version of devel/yasm before 0.6.
>Fix:
I think you just have to inhibit detection of yasm if it's an old version, but 
I'm not sure how to do that.  I worked around the problem by uninstalling yasm 
entirely and letting SDL build with nasm.
