thanks guys. yes, it looks like that's the issue. it works for me if i change the configure to enable strict aliasing on my gcc which is 4.4.4 but i'm not sure if enabling strict aliasing is going to cause other issues as there were tons of warnings during the build... i guess upgrading gcc is the definitive way to solve the issue?
