Apparently -mcpu=440fp is the one. However, it's possible, that GCC
"optimizations" actually make the code slower.

Are you compiling it in 32bit or 64bit mode?

MPlayer's configure script doesn't know about the 440 model so I guess
generic optimizations are used. Please include configure.log, config.mak
and `cat /proc/cpuinfo` so that we can add support.
