This is a know Problem with SuSE's version of the gcc C-Compiler.
Please try using an older Version of gcc or recompile gcc from official
gnu sources.  You can work around the problem by using libmad to decode
mp2/mp3 instead of mp3lib.  To do that, you can select libmad with -ac
mad or copy etc/codecs.conf to ~/.mplayer/codecs.conf and move the
libmad entry in front of the mp3lib entry.
