We're trying to find out what's going wrong with the assembly
compilation -- for reference, there's
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/Assembler/Assembler.pdf

I'm not going to dive it it myself; let's see if we can find someone who
knows what's going on. A couple of guys working on Pre Make Kit (pmk,
see
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1569713&group_id=94395&atid=607694)
try hard to make it work but up frustrated, concluding "Projects that
mix assembly and C code must all fail on MacOS X Intel machines." They
also say mplayer avoids the problem by using C embedded assembly.

Aside from the probably unattractive option of switching to C embedded
assembly, this is clearly not a transcode problem.
