Compiling mplayer

Question

I'm running into the following error when I try to compile mplayer:

    Aborting...
I get this whether I change PKGBULID or not. I've tried to change the following:
adding CFLAGS="-O2 -fomit-frame-pointer" before ./configure
adding --enable-vdpau
adding --enable-ass
What am I doing wrong?

gcc 4.4.1-1
mplayer-mt-git (from AUR)
1. The standard codebase builds fine (svn 29766) with unset CFLAGS LDFLAGS. Builds 29777-29779 produce the above mentioned error. All this with gcc 4.4.0.
2. mplayer-mt is a different code base.
3. If you build the standard codebase with gcc 4.4.1, it crashes with mkv containers.
