I had also this error when compiling vlc-0.6.2.
I think it is a problem with gcc (I am using gcc-3.2.3), if you delete
the quotes the compilation is ok.

So I did the following modification :
  cd modules/codec/ffmpeg
  test -e ffmpeg.old  || cp ffmpeg.c ffmpeg.old
  sed 's/interface "/interface/
       s/LIBAVCODEC_BUILD_STR "/LIBAVCODEC_BUILD_STR/' ffmpeg.c >ffmpeg.tmp
  cp ffmpeg.tmp ffmpeg.c

It seems the problem no longer exists with vlc-0.7.0-test1
