This is very odd and I think it mostly relates to binutils. If you set
HAVE_EBX_AVAILABLE to 0, the build suceeds

openbsd doesn't like something in the:
#if ! ( ARCH_X86 && HAVE_7REGS && HAVE_EBX_AVAILABLE &&
!defined(BROKEN_RELOCATIONS) )
in libavcodec/cabac.h.

It could be any one of those flags that I am supposed to turn off ofcourse.

Next question is, does anyone see a suitible workaround?

(And yes.. someone is updating binutils. It will take time.)
