[MPlayer-dev-eng] Cannot compile with gcc 2.95.1

[Michael Y. Brukman]

I've just checked out the CVS version, and I know the deal with "we don't
support 2.96", so here's what I have:

RedHat 7.2, which comes with 2.96. I have downgraded gcc to 2.95.1 
(including cpp and g++, if you care), and:

% ./configure
Detected operating system: Linux
Detected host architecture: i386
Checking for gcc version ... 2.95.1, bad
Checking for gcc3 version ... v. ?.??, bad

*** Please downgrade/upgrade C compiler to gcc-2.95.x or gcc-3.x version! 
<snip, you know the rest>

So what's the deal? It says I have a 2.95.1, but I need to down/upgrade to
2.95.x? I've tried reading the FAQ, searching google, and mailing list
archives, but you've got nothing listed anywhere for this. I think that
this is a configuration bug.

Is 2.95.1 somehow an inferior compiler in the 2.95.x series? The configure 
script only considers 2.95.[2-9] as valid.

Here's a diff that helps me compile:

thanks, and please CC me with any correspondence as I'm not on this list.
