This is very strange. Maybe it's binutils fault? Or maybe it's generic
gcc 3.2.2 bug that was fixed in gcc 3.2.2 shipped with redhat and some
other distributions? Or bug in headers from glibc-devel? Or maybe gcc
generates bug only with some optimizations? I think we should compare
our versions with him.

Here are my specs.

Btw, if there is no way to detect from configure if it is possible to
compile faad or not on gcc 3.2.2, there should be some option to force
its compiling...
