[Media_api] portmidi patch and textrels

[Hanno Böck]

Hi,

I'm working on getting portmidi into Gentoo. There are some problems though.

First, the gentoo-bug has a patch attached that comes from the debian-package 
and seems to fix a whole bunch of things:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90614

Can you have a look and see if this could be applied?


Beside that, Gentoo has some QA-checks and reports textrels in the 
portmidi-libs:

QA Notice: the following files contain runtime text relocations
 Text relocations force the dynamic linker to perform extra
 work at startup, waste system resources, and may pose a security
 risk.  On some architectures, the code may not even function
 properly, if at all.
 For more information, see http://hardened.gentoo.org/pic-fix-guide.xml
 Please include this file in your report:
 /var/tmp/portage/media-libs/portmidi-20061030/temp/scanelf-textrel.log
TEXTREL usr/lib/libportmidi.so.0.0.0
TEXTREL usr/lib/libporttime.so.0.0.0

I've uploaded the scanelf-log to
http://www.schokokeks.org/~hanno/portmidi-scanelf-textrel.log
