	Any progress on being able to build shared libavcodec on OSX 10.5?

	dsputil_mmx.c won't compile unless mdynamic-no-pic is used but if
	that flag is used then the shared module fails to link with

ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in _put_pixels8_xy2_mmx from i386/dsputil_mmx.o not allowed in slidable image

	Effectively a shared build can't be done on OSX 10.5 on a Intel based
	Mac.  A static build is useless since other programs (libquicktime
	for example) need a shared library to load.

	Is there anything being done to change the present situation?
