And I suppose there's no way to change that?  I was trying to create an 
ebuild for ffmpeg-mt (a version that supports multi-core CPUs) to speed 
up playback of full HD video.  This is quite popular in the Windows 
world (most Windows builds of mplayer support multi-core systems by 
using ffmpeg-mt).  There are also debs and RPMs for this floating 
around.  But nothing for Gentoo so I'm trying to roll my own, but I'm 
not sure how to do it.  Bundled libs were always a pain in the bum...
