I think you should remove all the fink packages you installed

brought that version of binutils. You don't need any external binutils

I have no problem to compile MPlayer here on Lion

Thanks. But I got the "Your binutils version is too old and not supported"
error before I installed gcc 4.6, and only installed it because what I could
find on the net seemed to suggest it was needed to build ffmpeg and mplayer.
I removed it, but that didn't make any difference, I still get the error. I
haven't installed any other developer tools with Fink, and the only problem
Fink installations have caused me before occurred after installing a Fink
version of x264, but that was removed a long time ago.

Here are the errors reported when I try your configure command:

"mplayer $ ./configure --cc=gcc-4.2 --disable-fontconfig
