Well, since I am offline by default, I use to firefox the front side of
hg serve. That one says
     Mercurial

My build system seems to have that bug as well.
As long as we know not to take asm line numbers too seriously ;-)

13389:ad1c7438683b contains an auto build time override.
Maybe it is a better idea to conftest the compiler default only when
user did not give an explicit host, and force the latter otherwise.
See "Fix x32 detection 2".

Good lord. The last time I heared "decomissioning" it was Fokushima ??

AFAIK, xine used to reside at git as well. I personally like the hg
switch because it lets me do almost everything without net.

What does "OT" mean?

Did you see that goom animation?
BTW, I use alsa out. Works quite well, including output delay mgmt.

Not for final packaging (there certainly is good reason for not doing
that there), but for quick testing of recent patches.
