compiling on a c3 is less critical than cross-compiling on an athlon-xp
with c3 as a target... xine's configure-scripts seem to autodetect the
architecture they are run on, so cross-compiling is really difficult...

it is even worse: the c3 is a 686, while it is missing the _optional_
"conditional move" instructions; gcc enables cmov when compiling for
686... so if you don't know it, you easily run into a trap ;) 
even worse with hand-optimized assembly bits in programs like mplayer.
