Problems recompiling ffmpeg with additional codec support.

Question

I took the PKGBUILD from the AUR, and added --enable-x264 to the configure line, then tried to makepkg.

make: *** [ffmpeg_g] Error 1
I get the same error whether I use the build for the current CVS version in stable, or the latest CVS. I just tried taking out the --enable-x264 and I still get the same error. It looks like it won't compile with GCC4. gcc-compat has disappeared from the AUR, so what am I supposed to do to get gcc3.4 back again? This is why so many other distros haven't switched to gcc4.

google:ffmpeg gcc4 - there's a patch out there......
Hey, that's the first time I've used the google: tags...
