 I've done a few tests with the PARANOID handling to detect a problem here, but
couldn't find any. However, I do notice in the configure script that it will
happily search for headers in /usr/include, but AFAICS without actually adding
/usr/include to the search path. Explicitly adding $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/include
will work because then configure will look for the header file in that place.
The ldflags addition shouldn't be needed however.

 Now, the problem in your case seems to be that you don't have
BR2_PACKAGE_XLIB_LIBXV selected, which means that there will be no useful X11
support included. And indeed, the logs you posted earlier show that mplayer is
using the framebuffer instead of X11.

 That said, I guess the mplayer package could really use some love to properly
deal with all the silliness in its configure script.

 Arnout
