Yes, I mean crashing... Of course it compiles even with -O4 (why not compile
with -O2 if compiles without it...)
Maybe there is problem with the registers, mainly with ESP. The win32
codecs changes them, so optimized code crashes, while unoptimized (which
uses memory instead of registers for variables) works...
Optimization >=-O2 enables -fomit-frame-pointer by default, and it is the
problem.

avifile do the same, so compile the loader without optimization.

But as I said before, the loader is not speed critical thing, it can be slow
(and there is not so big difference between -O4 and unoptimized gcc code).
After it loaded the DLL, it has no use any more. We call the DLL directly.
