[Ffmpeg-devel] Using ffmpeg libs in an OSS project is a nightmare

Hi!

See http://www.iecc.com/linker/linker08.html, the part
"PIC costs and benefits". When developers have spent a considerable time
to gain even one percent speedup, they probably don't want to see this gain 
disappear by the inclusion of the compiler option -fPIC (this is only on 
legacy hardware, namely x86). But I am not an official certified ffmpeg 
developer.
