Bug#306854: gcc-3.3: gets stuck when compiling xine-lib CVS HEAD

[Darren Salt <linux@youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk>]

Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 3.3.5-12

gcc gets stuck, eventually running out of memory, when compiling
src/libffmpeg/libavcodec/mpegvideo.c (xine CVS, module "xine-lib", revision
1.45).

  $ ./debian/rules configure
  $ make -C src/libffmpeg/libavcodec/mpegvideo.o

Any of the following will allow successful compilation of this file:

  * append CFLAGS='-g -fno-inline-functions' to the configuration command
  * append CC=gcc-3.4 to the make command
  * use the command line which make would execute to compile the file, but
    say -O0 instead of -O3 (-O, -O1, -O2 all fail as for -O3)

=> the problem is to do with function inlining at optimisation settings other
than -O0.

(This problem is currently being discussed on xine-devel.)
