Update: [mythtv] Mythtv-0.14: videoout_xv.o compile error (help!)

[Jon Whitear]

Further research shows that glibc is complaining about some "inline defs".
 I'm no coder (and I _am_ somewhat of a Linux noob), so I'm at a loss as
to how to resolve this issue.

I have tried emerging a 2.4 kernel (2.4.25-epia to be precise) and linking
/usr/src/linux to that, but I still have the 2.6.1-epia include path there
(because of the DVB drivers.)

Apparently I should undef the inline defs (!) but I wouldn't know
where/how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I've
been trying to get this Myth box working for (many) weeks!
