Use -fomit-frame-pointer -O3 -mno-dynamic-pic for libavcodec/i386/. The -O3
is (I think) only needed on darwin because their gcc is busted, the rest is
(again, I think) always needed, and all this should be in your
config.makCFLAGS already (next time, include the gcc command used so
we can see what's
wrong with it :-) ).
