I too am getting the same error message - is this a false positive?
No problems reported using AVG.
It's a McAfee false positive again. I think I submitted it for review, but McAfee's site is somewhat lacking.
With McAfee's DAT 5791 virus signature update (November 3, 2009) all of my dll's in VLC are identified as having a Trojan named GnuCompiler. The McAfee web site says this is a low risk Trojan.

Is McAfee right?
It's wrong again. McAfee has semi-regular false-positive issues. It's usually cleared up in a few days by them. You should contact them to get them to fix it.
Thanks, John. What a hassle. Over 800 files quarantined by McAfee (counting those in the Windows Restore sub-directories).
