Afaict, this is a compiler error;-(

Could you add the output of gcc-v?
Does it make any difference if you use "./configure --cc='clang -m32'"?

If you just want to compile FFmpeg, I suggest you copy above command (from gcc
to cabac.c), paste it and remove -fomit-frame-pointer (or replace it with
-fno-omit-frame-pointer). The compilation of h264_cabac.o should succeed and you
can run "make" to compile the rest of the project.
