I can't explain avifile problems, check their archives. They have some
problems with the mpeg2raw function. gcc 2.96 only.

The MMX 16bpp problem of mplayer:
the funxtion yuv420_rgb16_mmx in file libvo/yuv2rgb_mmx.c compiles badly
with gcc 2.96 (dunno which sub-version, that one comes with standard redhat 7.1 dist)
Half of the inline asm code is missing from resulting object file.

You can test this bug with mplayer using -vo x11, running X at 16bpp, and
playing file with codec which uses YV12 pixel format (mpeg 1, 2 and opendivx).
You will see only black window. If you compile mplayer with --disable-mmx
then it will be ok.
Other outputs like Xv or SDL aren't good because they have own yuv2rgb code.
Other codecs aren't good (divx etc) because they use YUY2 or RGB, not YV12.

Compilation problems:
various compile errors with inline asm code in 3dnow-optimized files.
