I cannot reproduce your error, though I use quite the same system.
The same compiler, glibc and a little newer kernel, running on P-III,
not P-IV as you do. Possibly there are reasons not in a field of deep
structural problems. Try to remove or add empty lines after asm directive.
If it does not help - your task is to remove all quotes and tabs (and
everything like \n \t \r)  from assembler code. This will take about 30
minutes, but will make you an owner of working code;)
I know it may sound strange, my advices, however the problem I cannot
reproduce whatever I do, makes me feel that it is not mplayer's issue,
but gcc or binutils.
