Both of these fail for me on hardened amd64, though my 
admittedly sketchy memory tells me both built fine when I 
was running hardened x86 on the same hardware a few months back.

The mplayer failure is the same one that's always caused 
problems for SSP -- running out of registers in parts of the 
assembly code.  The OOo build fails on three separate steps 
for three seemingly unrelated reasons, none of which I have 
had time to chase down.
