Sorry, but this is WRONG! Not any software contains inline assembly parts,
and not any software contains MMX code in inline asm. I guess you CAN find
OTHER softwares as well which wouldn't compile (or at least not well).
For example Linux kernel itself. RedHat is a piece of shit to release
non-official or alpha softwares. RedHat even releases kgcc to be able to
compile the kernel. ROTFL! This is bad ... Even worst than Microsoft ...

And please DO NOT call yourself 'Linux consultant' if you can't figure about
the problem yourself ... In nutshell: this is a GCC fault. Not MPlayer.
Inmagine that our users CAN compile MPlayer otherwise MPlayer would haven't
got ANY users :) So use gcc 2.95, and it will works. And BELEIVE me, not
just MPlayer causes problems with gcc 2.96. Even RedHat said that's the
truth, by releasing kgcc ...

ROTFL :) If you are Linux Consultant, I would be the God or even better :)
