I wasn't reporting a bug, just inquiring if anyone knew of a work-around 
for this problem.  If this is really an artifact of RedHat's compiler, then 
I will say no more about it.

You *have* tested the compilation of MPlayer on a K6-2 CPU, right?  I 
figure you must have to dismiss this problem so readily.
