This seems to fix the compile problem.  I am able to run the frontend 
and view recorded programs.  Live TV works as well.  This also seems to 
fix the mysterious issue that I and others have been having with ff/rw 
freezing after 10 seconds.  I am able to ff and rw, however, I now get 
the following in the frontend log when fast forwarding instead of a 
freeze:

2005-04-15 16:25:58.961 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.
2005-04-15 16:25:59.140 prebuffering pause
2005-04-15 16:26:01.041 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.
2005-04-15 16:26:01.062 prebuffering pause
2005-04-15 16:26:03.313 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.
2005-04-15 16:26:03.490 prebuffering pause
2005-04-15 16:26:06.036 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.
2005-04-15 16:26:06.210 prebuffering pause
2005-04-15 16:26:08.760 GetNextFreeFrame() unable to lock frame 100 
times. Discarding Frames.
2005-04-15 16:26:08.938 prebuffering pause

This is repeated as long as I am fast forwarding.  I will try this 
patch on my x86 machine tonight to see if it also fixes the issue 
there.  If it does indeed, this will fix the biggest nuisance I have 
had with myth in a while.  See the e-mail from mark setzer on 4/13 for 
a full description of the issue this seems to fix and a backtrace.
