ffmpeg/x264/gpc circular dep loop

[Emilio M Recio]

Thanks a lot! This worked for me, but I had to do some more digging as I 
am a newbie with this depth/amount of RPM manipulation. I found the x264 
spec file, and after updating that line, I did a "-ba" recompile of that 
file. Did the ffmpeg, gpac, and then commented out that line, and 
another -ba recompile of x264 and everything seems to have lived nicely.

I don't know if this is the right list or anything, but the last PPC 
repo was for F12. Should we bring it back? Like I said, I don't want to 
send this machine packing just yet... even if Apple has. If anyone is 
interested, please email back; otherwise I'll just post the ppc64 
packages on my server for download.
