 <P>
 Other gcc 3.x problems comes from broken libstdc++ or glibc header (std_*.h)
 installation. They are not our fault. MPlayer compiles and works well with
-gcc 3.x versions. <B>Only 2.96 is broken</B>, but it depends on many environment
-elements, including gcc 2.96 release number, enabled mplayer features, etc.

 No. You are wrong!
-Several projects (mainly which source contains high optimized inline asm code)
-had problems with gcc 2.96. For example: avifile, MESA / DRI, Wine, ffmpeg, lame, NuppelVideo.
-But other projects already workarounded gcc bugs (changed code which
-triggered compiler bugs) so they work for now.
