(Another) possible bug when compiling for rpi with --enable-mmal

[panic82]

This is another one I've seen on multiple RPi Zeros and a Pi3 with Raspbian Jessie Light. This issue didn't exist the last time I was doing these builds about a month or so ago - but now it happens every time.

My config line (just like my previous post):

./configure '--enable-omxil' '--enable-omxil-vout' '--enable-rpi-omxil' '--enable-mmal' '--enable-x264' '--enable-vorbis' '--enable-flac' '--enable-live555' '--enable-pulse' '--enable-ogg' '--enable-smbclient' '--enable-opus' '--enable-mkv' '--enable-libmpeg2' '--includedir=/include' '--localstatedir=/var' '--config-cache' '--prefix=/usr' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--disable-update-check' '--disable-maintainer-mode' '--disable-fdkaac' '--disable-goom' '--disable-libtar' '--enable-libva' '--enable-alsa' '--disable-oss' '--enable-dca' '--disable-notify' '--disable-qt' '--disable-skins2' '--enable-vdpau' '--enable-realrtsp' '--enable-sdl' '--enable-gles2' '--enable-speex' '--enable-schroedinger' '--enable-mad' '--enable-directfb' '--enable-gles1' '--enable-a52' '--disable-chromecast'

Note, I have tried several variations of these config lines, but some of it I'm not totally sure what I'm doing - every combination of having --enable-mmal on recent versions of the code has caused these build errors for me (same with my previous post, only with regards to --enable-gles1).

When it goes to build with --enable-mmal, I run into the following error:

To fix this one, I go into the modules/hw/mmal/ directory, edit the Makefile and remove "-Wl,-z,defs" from LDFLAGS (on line 522 for me). I don't know what this means, but when I diff'ed an older version of my vlc repository that was successfully building with --enable-mmal (from a couple months back), that was one thing that stood out to me - and sure enough, it fixed the problem.

Thanks
