Try today's cvs, and rerun ./configure, it should automagically compile
for your CPU in most cases. There was a small compile flag change to
make gcc 3.4+ happy that is probably giving you grief. If today's patch
doesn't help, you may want to use custom compile flags for libavcodec.

Ok, I may have a fix for this locally, but I still have some new bugs
in that patch that I need to fix. Try using "W" to switch to a different
zoom, this may work around the problem.
