In this case, I wonder about the way gentoo is doing its layout:

supermario at supermario /usr/lib $ ldd /usr/local/bin/mythfrontend | grep XvMC
        libXvMC.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXvMC.so.1 (0x00002aaaacae7000)

supermario at supermario /usr/lib $ ls -alh libXvMC*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  14K Mar 19 19:15 libXvMC.a
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   14 Mar 19 19:15 libXvMC.so -> libXvMC.so.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   14 Mar 19 19:15 libXvMC.so.1 -> libXvMC.so.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  16K Mar 19 19:15 libXvMC.so.1.0
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 239K May 12 13:57 libXvMCNVIDIA.a
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 187K May 12 13:57 libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.7174
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   25 Apr  9 23:15 libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1
-> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.7174

My guess here would be libXvMC.so.1.0 being the wrapper library for
gentoo machines.
