+Compilation fails with an error and <application>gcc</application> bails out
+with some cryptic message containing the phrase
+<systemitem>internal compiler error</systemitem> or
+<systemitem>unable to find a register to spill</systemitem>.

+<answer><para>
+You have stumbled over a bug in <application>gcc</application>. Please
+<ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html">report it to the gcc team</ulink>
+but not to us. For some reason <application>MPlayer</application> seems to
+trigger compiler bugs frequently. Nevertheless we cannot fix them and do not
+add workarounds for compiler bugs to our sources. Upgrading your compiler
+often makes the problem go away.
