[gst-devel] Conflicting types of CHAR in gstwindec.c

[No spam, please]

Hello,

I'm attempting to make gstreamer-0.1.0 on RedHat 6.1.
I've encountered a couple of problems:

 1. several of the *_sse.s and *_mmx.s files won't assemble, because
they
    have C-style /* ... */ block comments in them, but the assembler 
    appears to not support continuing a comment onto multiple lines.
    I was able to get around that by making each line a separate
comment.
    I can supply a list of affected modules, if you're interested.

2.  Attempting to compile
gstreamer-0.1.0/plugins/avi/wincodec/gstwindec.c
    results in two different typedefs for CHAR.  I haven't found any 
    simple way around this one.  I'd rather not have to make private 
    copies of a large number of header files, to change CHAR to
something 
    else everywhere, if that isn't really needed.  Please let me know
your
    recommendations for this.

Here's a log showing the error on gstwindec.c:
