This is a known problem with liboil on i386 with gcc-4.0. It is
fixed in CVS. Gcc-4.0 doesn't approve of people using mmx registers
unless -mmmx is specified.

Daniel: you might want to fix up the reportbug "Architecture:" line
when you submit bugs like this, since that's the first thing most
people look at. (And apparently fooled myself and Steve for a while.)
