Dave & Xtophe,

Thanks for the quick response. I've grabbed the latest svn snapshot  
and am building it now.

As for why I'm building my own VLC... I am making sure everything is  
"working" so I can control for the problems I'm having in building  
VLC with ICC (Intel's optimized compiler.) Once I have a 100% working  
GCC VLC build, I can be sure that any failures happening when I  
switch the compiler over from GCC to ICC are due to ICC and not some  
other local problem.
