[MPlayer-users] RedHat 6.2 gcc

[Steve Stavropoulos]

 I'm using here the compiler from RedHat 6.2 and configure tells me that
my compiler is bad. I knew that only gcc 2.96 didn't like mplayer, is that
the case also for egcs 2.91.66? (the output from configure follows at the
end)
 
 When I tried to compile mplayer with this compiler I got the following
output: (the funny thing is that gcc 2.96 in a RedHat 7.x works perfectly)

gcc -c -O4 -march=i686 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer
