just FYI:

as widely published, Apple's iPhone SDK includes a new version of
Xcode called 3.1 (beta), which may be installed separately but is only
distributed as part of the SDK download.

However, this new Xcode releases finally includes an updated linker,
which fixes the compilation problems of FFmpeg's ASM code on Intel-

GCC 4.3.0 also has performance tuning for the Intel Core 2 and AMD Geode processors. In addition, there is now support for Intel's SSE4.1, and SSE4.2 instruction sets.
