Bad gcc, 3.4.x and 2.95 have always worked for me. Alternatively you can
compile the failing file "by hand" and change -O4 to something else (-O2
works quite often). But please don't report bugs if you decide that way,
some compiler version have created very hard to track bugs (and before I
start another discussion, I know that MPlayers code is not completely
innocent, but why waste developer time on things that the right compiler
can solve, too?)

Don't do that! Never ever! In case you really need that shared lib for
another program, compile only that and copy it by hand in you lib
directory. --enable-shared-pp is currently broken, and I'm quite happy
with that...

These bugs are triggered "at random" and caused by gcc not handling inline
assembly very well. Up to now changing the compiler version always fixed
it...
