GCC 4.6+ does not tolerate flags starting with "--" like older versions
do. These flags were meant to fall to the linker, but starting with
GCC 4.6, they have to be explicitly prefixed with "-Wl,".
Fix the gcc 4.7 breakage on "--warn-common".
GPAC features encoders and multiplexers, publishing and content distribution
tools for MP4 and 3GPP or 3GPP2 files and many tools for scene descriptions
(BIFS/VRML/X3D converters, SWF/BIFS, SVG/BIFS, etc...). MP4Box provides all
these tools in a single command-line application.
