Confirmed, I've had no problems with any mplayer version starting
from 0.18pre3 to current CVS version, compiled with optimizations
either for Athlon/Duron or for K6-2.
I guess it's just the autors' brain-damage. I mean, it wasn't enough
to require passing --disable-gcc-checking, oh no. They had to make
our life still a little bit harder by requiring us to type some
stupid words in order to continue. Luckily one can echo it and pipe
through to the configure script, so unattended build is still possible.
Yuck. (Yes, I'm packaging it for my internal use, but if anyone wants
the .src.rpm, feel free to ask. I may even put it on my webpage if
there's enough demand.)
Cheers,
Rathann
