New failure on Linux - undefined `az_mallocz_array`

[ferdieberfle]

I installed 1.17.3 when it came out. Everything worked fine until today.

This morning I started getting error dialogs telling me "Application failed to initialize NO_ANSWER_FROM_MAKEMKVCON"

Hmm... it's possible a recent system update caused this, so I decided to try compiling makemkv again, in case there was a change to pick up.

So I did `make clean` then `make`, and it was moving right along, until...

-Xlinker -soname=libmakemkv.so.1 -lc -lstdc++ -lcrypto -lz -lexpat -lavcodec -lavutil -lrt -lm -lrt
/usr/bin/ld: tmp/libffabi/src/ffabi.c.o: in function `ffm_audio_encode_init':
/home/xxxxx/makemkv/makemkv-oss-1.17.3/libffabi/src/ffabi.c:481: undefined reference to `av_mallocz_array'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:89: out/libmakemkv.so.1.full] Error 1

I'm on Manjaro Linux, with all packages up-to-date.

Any ideas? Pointers to where to look to try to track this down further? Simple commiserations?

Did you see this thread? FIX for "undefined reference to 'av_mallocz_array"

No, I hadn't. Thanks.
