See #309121, the asm part of hxclient depends on gcc 3.x. Nobody,
including upstream, wants or can fix it to comply with 4.x. Anyway, Real
instead works on a complete rewrite for helix player 2. Until this is
ready, helix-player 1.x ist lost with gcc 3.x.

Why not close the bug? Removal of gcc 3.x is not a release-target for
etch, and for etch+1 there will be helix-player 2.x available hopefully ;)
