Since I had the same problem I tried removing the essential codecs  
and compiled again.  This time it went much further, but finally died  
on:

cc -c -I.. -Wdeclaration-after-statement -fno-PIC -O4 -march=pentium- 
m -mtune=pentium-m -pipe -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -mdynamic- 
no-pic -falign-loops=16 -DSYS_DARWIN -DCONFIG_DARWIN -shared-libgcc - 
arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk - 
D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/ 
X11R6/include -o decode_MMX.o decode_MMX.c
{standard input}:91:Unknown pseudo-op: .balign
{standard input}:91:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued  
49 (1).
{standard input}:163:Unknown pseudo-op: .balign
{standard input}:163:Rest of line ignored. 1st junk character valued  
49 (1).
make[1]: *** [decode_MMX.o] Error 1
make: *** [mp3lib/libMP3.a] Error 2

I haven't done asm on x86 for a while now, but it looks like the  
compiler I'm using on OSX doesn't understand .balign.  I see that I  
have nasm, but not gas.  Is this the issue, or is it something else?   
I notice in gcc(1) that -masm=dialect does not support Intel in  
Darwin, so I'm wondering if the code as it stands can be compiled?
