Hi ports --
Currently, multimedia/xine-lib fails to build on aarch64:
http://build-failures.rhaalovely.net/aarch64/2018-12-03/multimedia/xine-lib.log
This is because the configure script insists on finding an assembler in
its $PATH. It does so by checking if an AS env variable is set and if
not it runs `cc -print-prog-name=as'. On other archs, this will return
/usr/bin/as, which exists and configure is happy. On arm64, however,
this returns as and since there is no as program in the $PATH, configure
errors out.
The build of xine-lib (at least on arm64) doesn't appear to directly use
the assembler anyway. If we lie to the configure script by setting
AS="${CC}" for example, it skips the `cc -print-prog-name=as' test and
continues on. That's what the attached patch does. This allowed me to
successfully package and install xine-lib on arm64.
OK?
