Bug#528080: FFmpeg uses text relocations on i386

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

(Since two bugs were reopened and the status was set to "forwarded":)

Note that there will definitely be no "fix" within FFmpeg, simply
because the FFmpeg developers do not believe that there is a bug that
can be fixed.
If Debian believes there is an issue, it can be fixed quickly: Just
add --disable-asm to the configure line. So definitely no need to
"forward" anything. If you decide to not "fix" the issue, please close
the bug reports (again).

Regarding the claim that "it's worth losing 15% of performance for security":
I (strongly) believe it is worth losing 90% of performance for an
actual security issue, so I am not sure I understand the argument. But
I would also suggest you provide some tests to allow us to reproduce
the numbers if you believe they are relevant. (Both "15%" and "lack of
registers problem" are mostly wrong or not the point.)
