I think you are correct on this - the cable is twisted 180 degrees,
either at the mobo or at the floppy drive.

The giveaway was that the activity light stays on constantly, which is
always caused by this particular type of mis-cabling.

Good luck.

Another guess is absence of floppy drive support in kernel (not
compiled in, or compiled as module and not loaded).

  I tried to build it on escher and faure and it worked fine on

  -admin to install it?).
 
 Yes, ask an admin to install it.  That contains the static gtk+ 
 libraries, which you WILL need to build xmms with 
 --enable-static.  When you're linking stuff into a static 
 library, everything you link in needs to either be a static 
 library or an object file.
 
 I imagine libtool is trying to build the static mpg123 plugin, 
 needs the static gtk+ library for it, but can only find the 
 dynamic version.  Of course, this only causes a problem when 
 building the static plugin, and guess when the errors are thrown 
 away... :/

No, unfortnately that's not the cause, I've tried the failing
commandline:

riff Input/mpg123 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../xmms
-I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include

This is a well known gcc bug (http://gcc.gnu.org/PR11717), fixed in
GCC 3.3.2 which is to be released Real Soon Now[tm].
