-O0 with the x86 asm or mmx code does NOT compile, ask the gcc developers
why, its a known issue, there is no solution except the obvious dont use
-O0, dont use mmx/asm, fix/change the compiler, i also dont think 
-fomit-frame-pointer will help, though yes its mandatory if you want asm/mmx
again its a gcc issue, if you have any other solutions patches would be
welcome as long as there is _no_ speedloss

there are many many questions and too few people who have the time and
knowledeg to awnser them, theres also the issue that most questions lack
90% of the information needed to awnsr them
volunteers to help the ffmpeg users are certainly welcome ...

do you have any suggestions how we could improve that (note spending more
time isnt an option we dont have more ...)

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
