[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] Drop support for gcc-2.95

[Jiang Hong]

Hi,

gcc-4.1.1 even doesn't compile lame-3.96 correctly with -O2 option.

      ERRORF(gfc,"This is a fatal error.  It has several possible causes:");
      ERRORF(gfc,"90%  LAME compiled with buggy version of gcc using advanced optimizations");
      ERRORF(gfc," 9%  Your system is overclocked");
      ERRORF(gfc," 1%  bug in LAME encoding library");
