That's not surprising - seems each new version of gcc breaks
something ;)

jpeg-mmx was deprecated a while ago. It was problematic in many
ways: it does not build on AMD64 platforms, was causing programs
to crash, is not compatible with libquicktime (you can not use
jpeg-mmx and libquicktime in the same program due to symbol name
clash/conflict), is not usable on PPC systems, there are other
reasons but that should be enough for now.
Support for jpeg-mmx was removed from mjpegtools quite some time
while ago (January 2006 to be exact). Too many problems and the speed
improvement wasn't all that great even when the routines did work.
From the spec file:
" jpeg-mmx is not supported, it crashes on IA32 systems, will not build on
X86_64 or PPC systems and even when it did work didn't provide much of
a speedup (jpeg decoding is a small portion of the overall encoding process)"
My advice would be to ignore jpeg-mmx. if you are using the
cvs version of mjpegtools then ignoring jpeg-mmx will be done
automatically for you (nothing in configure.ac will look for jpeg-mmx).
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
