Excellent. It was built with yasm - nasm extended for X86_64:

yasm -f elf -m amd64 -o common/amd64/dct-a.o 
common/amd64/dct-a.asm

Sadly it won't build with as.

FYI i sent to the yasm-devel list:

I'm trying to link x264 with ffmpeg on an amd64. x264 uses 
yasm for
some of its core routines. I've built x264 with -fPIC for 
gcc-4.0.1
and -m amd64 for yasm.

For example:

yasm -f elf -m amd64 -m amd64 -o common/amd64/dct-a.o 
common/amd64/dct-a.asm

Yet when ffmpeg tries to link with x264 I get:

/usr/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.0.1/../../../../lib64/libx264.a(dct-a.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be 
used when
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.0.1/../../../../lib64/libx264.a:
could not read symbols: Bad value

Is there some other command line switch needed for yasm?

FWIW,
  rpm -q binutils
binutils-2.16.91.0.2-4
