Are you sure you had the update applied? Because I still run into the
segfault:

vlc-cache-gen:/usr/local/lib/libnfs.so.3.0: /usr/lib/libc.so.103.0 : WARNING: symbol(_null_auth) size mismatch, relink your program
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Of note, I was only able to compile vlc this far after building
devel/sdl-image from scratch rather than installing the package because
otherwise it would also look for libSDL.la

I think we need to figure out what's going wrong with x11/vlc before
sdl12-compat is ready. Here is what `egdb bin/.libs/vlc-cache-gen
bin/vlc-cache-gen.core` gets me, in case this helps with figuring out
the issue:
