there are no amd64 ebuilds out there, AFAIK. So compiling
the tarballs is the way to go beside making your own ebuilds.

I wouldn't recommend to enhance the CXXFLG in make.conf
because this would affect _ALL_ compiling activities of portage
in the future. In fact, if you compile it from scratch as suggested
above it wouldn't make sence either.

Go into the source directory of each plugin you want to compile
(../vdr/PLUGINS/src/plugin-xyz) and edit the Makefile as mentioned
in my reply earlier this day with -fPIC.
