Howdy, fellow Mac Linuxer.

Weird.  I haven't paid much attention to that.

Unless there's something broken in your toolchain, my advice would be to
backdate your source.  I'm running the nightly tarball from Nov. 6 on
MkLinux pre-R1 (which should be really similar to the newest YDL stuff)
without any significant problems.

BTW, I haven't tried an SRPM for ogg-vorbis, so I can't say anything about
that.  :-)

If you'd like I could email you the tarball that builds for me and you can
see if you have better luck with that.
