Yeah, ffmpeg's Makefiles need gnu make, but we should not. I'll correct 
that before committing.

Is that a recording with AAC audio? please send a complete log, the 
error looks unrelated to the ffmpeg merge.

could you try with with --compile-type=profile? --enable-debug shouldn't 
be used.

The backtrace is useless, it looks if it is for two separate processes 
and it misses symbols for libmythavcodec. And please don't cut the 
message in which thread and function the segfault occured. If the error 
with that recording is reproduceable a sample would help.
