[FFmpeg-devel] Make suppresses link errors...

[Larry D. Fishel]

Thanks. I've been using gcc for 20 years and don't remember ever seeing 
such an unhelpful error message (cryptic and needing translation yes, 
but not without useful info), but you appear to be correct.

And, yes, I thought ffmpeg-users might have been the appropriate place, 
but I assumed it might have been more related to running ffmpeg than 
building it. This looks like the best answer I am likely to find without 
hacking gcc myself...
