I'm thinking that fec.c is not available for x86, as it seems that the
dependencies don't allow it to be enabled.
That said, as I think I know the problem, can you try this patch to see
if it fixes things. This patch is a TOTAL HACK! Not for inclusion. It's
racy and buggy. I didn't even compile it because I couldn't get the
configs to enable FEC, and I was too lazy to set up my cross compiler to
test it. ;-)
