Here is what I have using latest cvs:

  ./configure  --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-strip 
--enable-memalign-hack
...
-rwxrw----    1 michel   pkdev     8200010 Mar 15 10:33 
libavcodec/avcodec.dll
-rwxrw----    1 michel   pkdev     1307922 Mar 15 10:35 
libavformat/avformat.dll
-rwxrw----    1 michel   pkdev       58039 Mar 15 10:22 libavutil/avutil.dll

You should definitely get latest CVS and retry. *Then* you might wish to 
disable some codecs.

HaND,
