I also had problems compiling glib2 (tried both Fink and Macports
- same issue), linkedr failed due to too big relative symbols.
Also compiling MC had some inline symbol clashes in glib2 headers.
But mplayer svn snapshot compiled fine, without problems.
(using osx 10.5, powepc g5, gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5465))

Afaik they switched from plain gcc to using gcc with LLVM backend:
http://llvm.org/
(it's a low-level cpu-independent code optimizer framework)

it explains some linker incompatibility issues, especially
for inline asm code.
