Updating FFMPEG in Gentoo dramas...

During an update of my Gentoo box I tripped over a problem that seems to come and go. Recompiling FFMPEG fails due to GCC 4.1.2 having issues generating MMX code for the x264 encoder.

Putting a "media-video/ffmpeg -pic" disables all of the MMX, MMX2, SSE, SSE2... specific code generation and allows a successful compile.

Only problem will be the reduced performance... sigh!
