Without this, the cast runtime when built out of chromium will segfault in starboard's FFmpeg decoder. The issue is that chromium builds a newer version of FFmpeg, and (without RTLD_DEEPBIND) some of the symbols in FFmpeg get resolved as the chromium versions. This likely causes a segfault due to struct size changes (in my case, the segfault was in av_buffer_unref). See the bug for more details, including a full stack trace.
