Interesting, I'm getting the same problem at line 529,  in cabac.h, i.e.
cabac.h:529:error: can't find a register in class 'GENERAL_REGS' while
reloading 'asm'.
and this is in gcc 4.2.3 under Gentoo 2.6.23.
Is there any easy way to disable all the (asm) optimizations?
I'd like the current release to work before I deal with it working well!
It also sounds like, if the mplayer people are going to continue or increase
their use of asm() code, they ought to form a better relationship with the
GCC developers to make sure said asm() code actually works on the register
constrained machines such as the x86.
