In that email I provided the exact configure options I used to
configure FFmpeg, as well as the exact version of GCC used to compile
it, as well as steps to duplicate the problem.

I used revision 25864 from svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk -- but
I got identical results with releases 0.7.8, 0.8.7, and the master git
branch when I tried them.

Acknowledged.  I tried the appropriate list, but it appears to be
deserted.  I would be happy to take this discussion back to libav-user
if there is someone who will discuss it with me there.  I lurked on
this list for a few days to get a feel for it, and it seemed consist
of the sort of competent people who may be able and willing to help
solve this linking issue.

I am the (new) maintainer of AVbin.  I'm trying put together a
release.  The project home page is at http://avbin.github.com and the
repository is at https://github.com/avbin/avbin

In short, the entire project is to provide a stable ABI for Pyglet to
use to decode audio and video.  If you clone the actual code, you will
see a single C file in src/ and a single header file in include/ and
these simply thinly wrap basic FFmpeg decoding functionality in a way
to attempt long term ABI support on a variety of platforms.
