Gentoo seem to have a fix for gpac:
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/media-video/gpac/files/gpac-0.5.0-ffmpeg2.patch?diff_format=s&view=log

this will fix gpac and x264 at least, and can probably be adapted to
quite a few other failures.
Having said that, we seem to carry quite a lot of software which breaks
every time ffmpeg is bumped. Given that ffmpeg has a release every 3
months now, is such model sustainable?
