MAKEPKG of VLC causes segmentation fault on plugins.dat

I had an issue with VLC Media Player where files from my HDD were heavily delayed before playing (never had this on other distributions). In my attempts to fix it, someone on the IRC advised me to use ABS to build it against ffmpeg, as the current version of VLC was using an outdated version of ffmpeg (if I understand correctly).

I did so, but was given an error near the end of the build process:

  CC       cachegen.o
  CCLD     vlc-cache-gen
  GEN      ../modules/plugins.dat
/bin/sh: line 4: 29974 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) ./vlc-cache-gen ../modules
Makefile:1538: recipe for target '../modules/plugins.dat' failed
make[2]: *** [../modules/plugins.dat] Error 139
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/birdie/vlc-abs-build/src/vlc-2.1.5/bin'
Makefile:1952: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/birdie/vlc-abs-build/src/vlc-2.1.5'
Makefile:1836: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

The full command and output of my command is here: http://pastebin.com/wjvLE5PB

I'm not sure what other information I need to provide, as I'm new to Arch.

Did you try the suggestions in the bugreport you cited (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38099)?
