Error installing 'avifile-0.7.41,2' (in function `transpose4x4', dsputil_mmx.c:615).

[Elifarley Callado Coelho Cruz]

I get an error when I try to install avifile (In function
`transpose4x4', dsputil_mmx.c:615: error: can't find a register in
class `GENERAL_REGS' while reloading `asm')

The closest problem I could find using google was this:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-November/017563.html

On that thread, Michael Nottebrock suggested "-march and inline asm
don't always place nice. Tried without yet?"

So, I removed the line "CPUTYPE=i686" from make.conf, to get rid of
the "-march" option, but it didn`t help.
