Why naw, it ain't gonna get confused. The default appears to be handled by a link in /etc/alternatives. Change the link to change the default compiler. Also many configure scripts allow you to specify which compiler to use with the switch --cc= (I think that's it, do a ./configure --help to get exact syntax). Shoot, just go for it and worry after you get an error (but that's just me: untar, read README & INSTALL, then go for it!). using --disable-gcc-checking --enable-gui --disable-runtime-cpudetection is my usual formula, that way I don't have to worry about it complaining or my risking the compiler by goofing with it. Anyway, someone should make a howto for this mplayer as there are sooo many questions about it here and in the ngs. -s
