I have been trying to track down the build failure of vlc on mips. The
build fails with a segmentation fault when doing a test run of the newly
built vlc binary.
I tried to use gdb to get a backtrace of the problem. Unfortunately gdb
refuses to load the freshly built vlc binary. The binary does appear to
be a valid executable as I get some output from it before it segfaults.
