Installing Lightspark and/or Gnash? [compile errors]

The Flash player in Firefox (and, more importantly xulrunner generally and thus in Conkeror) is unusable. I've even tried the fresh player plugin to use Google Pepper Flash in Firefox, and it's the same - it stutters/jitters. (Plays fine in Chrom{e|ium}).

I was trying to install Lightspark and/or Gnash, but no matter which package I try from AUR, there's always a compile error.  Has anyone successfully got either/both of these installed?

Re: Installing Lightspark and/or Gnash? [compile errors]

I've installed Lightspark by downgrading llvm and Gnash by building from source with a workaround.

My workaround doesn't seem to be working for other people, though, so I won't detail it here until I figure out what's different.
