>Description:
Attempting to build "multimedia/mplayer", "multimedia/gmplayer", or
"multimedia/mencoder" fails during build with the following error:

[...]
ld: /tmp/ccJKkpO7.o: unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section `.text'
ld: final link failed: Bad value
Makefile:752: recipe for target 'codec-cfg' failed
gmake: *** [codec-cfg] Error 1
gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
*** Error code 2

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /x/pkgsrc/multimedia/mencoder

The above example is from "multimedia/mencoder", but the same error
occurs when building any of the noted packages.

Re-running 'make' will elicit the error after different source files
but the error is the same every time.

Possibly related to using "devel/binutils" (binutils-2.26nb1)?
