Bug#862230: mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x207ac54c for symbol `htonl' out of range

Hi.

When I reported bug 862230 a few months ago, I forgot to include
debian-powerpc as CC. Here it goes:

This problem still occurs with version 2:1.3.0-7+b3, unfortunately. :-(

Is there anybody knowledgeable on the debian-powerpc mailing list? Is this a
problem with a missing -fPIC somewhere, as stated in a message that deals
with a similar message, as in:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2010/06/msg00012.html

Is there anyway to discover what package may be at fault here?

One of the reasons why I am trying to use mplayer and not mpv is that, with
mpv, they are removing more and more video backends...


Thanks for any help,

Rogério Brito.
