We'll incorporate this with other cleanups in our package! Thanks for
pointing that out.

Btw, your hint --with-extraincdir needs to be used like this:

--with-extraincdir=". -DPIC -fPIC"

That will produce '.... -I. -I. -DPIC -fPIC ...' in the gcc
line. Tricky, but works!

I'll start another testbuild with --enable-debug and will let you know
how that works out. It takes about 9h on that machine to build
mplayer...
