Comment:

 The problem seems to be an arch/platform dependent bug in the old ffmpeg
 code that is included in the distribution.  It builds OK for me on 10.4.11
 ppc.

 Although this code is old, this version of gimp-gap is written
 specifically to it so the only thing to do is report the bug upstream and
 wait for a patch or new release.  gimp-gap does not support external
 ffmpeg libraries (such as port ffmpeg) in this version.

 To get around this, I have updated the port to disable this ffmpeg code by
 default at the expense of fewer supported video formats.  To restore the
 ffmpeg code (which will continue to break for some) the +libavformat
 variant can be used.

 This should allow you to proceed for now.
 Committed in r43011.
