I am trying to install the dvbstreamer package. When I compile it I get an error regarding "strict referencing of pointers". On googling around I find that you can't use the -Werror compile option with gcc 4.4

Not really, as mentioned in the AUR comments, the better soulution is to deactivate strict-aliasing.

Can anyone tell me how to remove this option during the build, please tell me the steps to follow to do this as I am just a user that installs by "makepkg" etc ...

Replace the line: ./configure --prefix=/usr in the PKGBUILD with: CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fno-strict-aliasing" ./configure --prefix=/usr
