I checked config.h looking for some wrong processor directive, but seems
to be fine.  Is this problem derived from gcc 2.96?

Hi list,

I tried compiling the latest Mplayer 0.50 release and I get the same error. I am using gcc 2.95.2 and everything else I have compiled has been ok. The previous 0.17 version compiled ok and I noticed that this libavcodec directory is not in the version that I compiled previously. Maybe this was only tested with gcc 3.0 and my 2.95.2 does not agree with the syntax. Do any ASM people know what might need to be changed to get it to compile? I am running binutils 2.11.90.8 if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Michael.
