Glad that you don't recommend to apply this !
This patch force gcc to use -m32 on x86_64 arch and this is a very
bad idea ! It simply don't work at all on a pure 64 bits system,
without any 32 bits lib installed (which is the case of my system).

Current MPlayer compile and works well on x86_64 in 64 bits mode.
It lacks all the mmx/sse/... extensions but compling it as a 32 bits
binary is not the right solution IMHO.
Maybe you could add a configure option to be able to select 32 bits
mode on x86_64 ?
