Is this a explicit BUILD_DEPENDS/FETCH_DEPENDS dependency or is something
like CONFIGURE_STYLE=autoconf enough. I used the audio/faad Makefile as
template which would need the same change.

OK.

Will try it. I guess I have to send them another patch set to the
maintainer (the big/little endian patch I made was commited a few days
ago).

Is this <malloc.h> stuff a win32 thing? Because neither memory.h nor
malloc.h are used in the man files since almost 10 years.

Added.

I normaly use faac -m 4 -o LC audio.wav audio.aac
The wav should be a 16 or 8bit PCM encoded (little endian) sound file.

But my guess is that there are more 64bit issues in the code. I already
fixed a few. Can you send me a backtrace then I will have a look at it over
the holidays.

thanks for the report
