the line is (with abbrev. paths)

/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -I"/home/.../ffmpeg-export-2007-10-15"/libswscale
-I"/home/.../ffmpeg-export-2007-10-15"/libavcodec  -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_ISOC9X_SOURCE
-I"/home/.../ffmpeg-export-2007-10-15"
-I"/home/.../ffmpeg-export-2007-10-15"
-I"/home/.../ffmpeg-export-2007-10-15"/libavutil -fPIC
-fomit-frame-pointer -march=i686 -pthread -g
-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wall -Wno-switch -Wdisabled-optimization
-Wpointer-arith -Wredundant-decls -Wno-pointer-sign -O3  -c -o
i386/dsputil_mmx.o i386/dsputil_mmx.c

btw., this time i tried gcc-4.2, no difference, but the warning has
slightly different spelling.

i386/dsputil_mmx.c: In function ?flac_compute_autocorr_sse2?:
i386/dsputil_mmx.c:3028: error: can't find a register in class
?GENERAL_REGS? while reloading ?asm?
i386/dsputil_mmx.c:3003: error: ?asm? operand has impossible constraints
i386/dsputil_mmx.c:3005: error: ?asm? operand has impossible constraints
i386/dsputil_mmx.c:3028: error: ?asm? operand has impossible constraints
i386/dsputil_mmx.c:3057: error: ?asm? operand has impossible constraints

btw., what is -mno-dynamic-pic ? my gcc doesnt like it. I have to use
ffmpeg with -fPIC flags to make it shareable between several processes.
Can one use partial compilation without -fPIC and partial with it, and
only the parts with -fPIC are shared - all in one .so lib? Puzzling...
