Yeah... Me, I'm nowhere near l33t enough to deal with debugging and
optimization funkiness, so I always compile with gcc-3.4 and -O0 when
I'm trying to develop something.

It must have been in another thread, but I think Michael said it was a
gcc bug. If that is the case, I would be willing to report it to the gcc
developers if nobody else cares about it enough; however, simply telling
them "ffmpeg and mplayer don't compile with gcc-4.x and -O0" probably
wouldn't get much attention. Does anyone know what exactly is failing
and/or have a more simple test case?
