Bug#561956: relocation for fcntl out of range on powerpc

[Nick Lewycky]

Package: libavformat52
Version: 4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1
Severity: important

On my powerpc system, any binary linked against libavformat hits the 
following
problem:

  nicholas at tracer:~$ mplayer --help
  mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: 
/usr/lib/libavformat.so.52: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0d925f74 for 
symbol `fcntl' out of range

For example, 'gnash' also does this. It's possible that the library just 
needs
to be compiled with -fPIC instead of -fpic?
