[MPlayer-dev-eng] mplayer fails to link with newer binutils (decwin)

[Soeren Sonnenburg]

Hi!

I investigated this problem a but further and found out, that in older
binutils ld versions 2.12.90 mplayer does link but produces a number of
warnings. In newer versions these warnings are taken to be hard errors
and linking fails as of binutils 2.13.xx .

So this is a bug that needs to be fixed in the mp3lib/ dir.
