 With gcc 4.3.3 + not --disable-asm, I run into 
http://ffmpeg.org/faq.html#error_003a-can_0027t-find-a-register-in-class-_0027GENERAL_005fREGS_0027-while-reloading-_0027asm_0027
 
 Somehow it looks to me that sucess/failure to compile ffmpeg's inline 
assembler code depends on a combination of the gcc version and gcc flags. This 
makes it a quite fragile package for pkgsrc.
 
 
 I can build ffmpeg successfully:
 
 - gcc 4.3.3 (native) + --disable-asm
 
 - gcc 4.5 (from pkgsrc) + without --disable-asm
