Btw, if this is true, it's not really netbsd dependant imho, or am I
false?
this seems like a valid assumption. i've been trying for a year or
more to get this working -- the first time was a couple of weeks ago
with GCC 3.4 branch compiler and mplayer cvs. netbsd's integrated
3.3.3 gets ICE's building some of the mpegvideo*ppc* files IIRC...
there's always the possibility for OS dependant behaviour but this
is one case i'd not expect it to be...
