By using Qt4 on Jessie again (and using your updated fixes-0.27-rpi2 
branch) I was able to compile now without troubles (build took about one 
hour with make -j4 and without mythplugins).
The only thing I had to do was to include /opt/vc headers and libraries 
when configuring (and to remove one inline definition in FFmpegs 
intmath.h, I guess because I did enable the external decoders).

Playback of some test videos (recorded from Astra) using mythfrontend 
does work now without problems (I'm using a profile with openmax 
decoder, softblend OSD and openmax advanced HW deinterlacer as well,  no 
overclocking, for testing I'm using mythavtest):
720x576i at 25 6.2Mb/s mpeg2: 25-30%
1280x720p at 50 13,9Mb/s H.264: 50-55%
1920x1080i at 25 H.264: 55-60%
I've got one VC-1 test video with high bitrate (1920x1080p at 24 20Mb/s) 
which is still unusable (CPU > 100% and stuttering, omxplayer is able to 
playback with 18%).
