OpenSolaris 2009.06 doesn't grok -rdynamic

[nikke@…]

When trying to compile mplayer HEAD (actually, the snapshot tarball) on OpenSolaris compilation/linking bombs out with syntax errors when the -rdynamic option is being used by the build system.

After googling around and browsing some forums it seems that the standard solution is to remove the -rdynamic stuff from configure on Solaris.

Noone seems to have cobbled up a reasonable patch for it though, so I'll include a rough one with this bug report.

Patch to not use -rdynamic on SunOS (Solaris/OpenSolaris).

The issue with -rdynamic option occurs because gcc from OpenSolaris 2009.06
doesn't recognize that option:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/mplayer
$ gmake
[...]
libmpcodecs/ve_vfw.c: In function `vfw_open_encoder':
libmpcodecs/ve_vfw.c:134: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 4)

cc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'

Here is more details about OpenSolaris gcc:

$ cc -v
Reading specs from /usr/sfw/lib/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/3.4.3/specs
Configured with: /builds2/sfwnv-111a/usr/src/cmd/gcc/gcc-3.4.3/configure --prefix=/usr/sfw --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --with-gnu-as --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --without-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc --enable-shared
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.3 (csl-sol210-3_4-20050802)

It seems that only libmpcodecs/vd_xanim.c file needs -rdynamic option of gcc
under OpenSolaris, so I've workarounded that problem by disabling xanim :)
I hope it wasn't the most stupid thing in my life and I don't need xanim
on OpenSolaris box. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/mplayer --disable-xanim
