Fix the underlying issue, and MythTV will work, whether you compile with 
libcec or not.  I.e. upgrade your buggy (and ancient) libcec version to 
any other version (you have the one and only version that's broken--a 
version that was only current for 20 days, 1.6.2 was released on Apr 27, 
2012 and 1.6.3 was released on May 17, 2012 specifically to fix the bug 
that's causing problems for you).
