I read the 'libdvdnav vs. libdvdnav2' thread, and I assume that I should use
libdvdnav instead of libdvdnav2. By any chance, does MPlayer need any of the
other subdirectories within dvdnavmini?

I fixed the problem. I:
1) installed the latest m4 and 
2) deleted the autom4te.cache directory.

It is possible that (1) was not necessary and (2) is what really fixed it. In
case (1) is necessary, a note for Mingw/MSYS users on Windows:

One should not install non-MSYS executables in /bin, so you have to configure m4
with --prefix=/usr/local (unless, of course, you have the means to build a MSYS
version of m4). Then, in bash, run 'export M4=/usr/local/bin/m4' to make autoXXX
use it instead of /bin/m4.
