Package: libxvmc-dev
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The libXvMCW.a contains non-relocatable code. This means that any attempt to
build a lib*.so which links statically to libXvMCW.a will break.

Diagnosing with objdump:
objdump  -r libXvMCW.a  | grep REL24
00000034 R_PPC_REL24       strlen
00000040 R_PPC_REL24       strlen
00000050 R_PPC_REL24       malloc
etc...

This makes it impossible to build mythtv-0.19 on ppc, since it does just
that (builds libmythtv.so, which statically links to libXvMCW). Or rather,
it builds, but the resulting .so is unusable.
