[MPlayer-users] Small configure problem with translated (NLS) gcc-3.1

Hi (doesn't seem that my 1st try worked, sorry else) !
I've been using mplayer for months, compiled with the stock gcc-3.0.4 that 
comes with Mandrake 8.2 and that works very well !

I've just build & install gcc-3.1 from sources, and it has nice translations.
The problem is that mplayer configure fails with Bad gcc version :) 
$cc_version is gcc instead of 3.1 lol !

Configure command :
./configure --prefix=/usr --language=fr --enable-gui --cc=gcc-3.1

Here's gcc-3.1 -v output :

Lecture des spécification à partir de 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-mandrake-linux-gnu/3.1/specs
Configuré avec: ../gcc-3.1/configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share/gcc-3.1 --enable-shared 
--enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-long-long 
--enable-cstdio=stdio --enable-clocale=generic 
--enable-languages=c,c++,f77,java --program-suffix=-3.1 --enable-objc-gc 
--host=i686-mandrake-linux-gnu --with-system-zlib
Modèle de thread: posix
version gcc 3.1

I found a little workaround : setting LANGUAGE=en before calling configure 
fixed the problem.
If LANGUAGE is set to nl, es, ja or tr (other locales for gcc) configure fails 
too !
You may either consider changing the configure script or add this workaround 
in the FAQ.
I must add that gcc-3.1 compiles much faster and even produces smaller mplayer 
and mencoder binaries !

Best regards,
Herve
