how about this? i modified xvidcore/src/utils/x86_asm/cpuid.asm to align .rodata section.
whatever it actually does: (SECTION .rodata align=16), 
vendorAMD does not appear aligned, and mencoder crashes when linked with both of x264 and xvidcore.
following ensures that it is aligned in 16byte boundary.

vendorAMD:
  db "AuthenticAMD"
  +align 16

i see it work on mencoder.
