Seems like this could be due to the default CFLAGS used for the build,
as %configure sets them, whereas plain ./configure doesn't.

If you want to debug the problem any further, and ideally report it
upstream, echo the %{optflags} macro to get its entire content, and
test builds adding all the parameters little by little, i.e. :

export CFLAGS="-O2"
./configure --prefix=/usr

then

export CFLAGS="-O2 -g"
./configure --prefix=/usr

and so on...

BTW, I don't consider the current mpg123 to be ready yet. One should
stick to the older but still more solid and full-featured mpg321,
although this should change fairly soon.
