I fixed this kind of build failure four days ago in our git repository:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=d8ff1171
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-multimedia/vlc.git;a=commitdiff;h=799db4f9

kfreebsd-{amd64,i386} and powerpc seem to have a different reason to
fail to build.
