Hi,

I'm not using Cygwin but MingW/MSys. I did some testing anyway. The 
error only comes up when the paramenter '--enable-profile' is given. 
without it, configure walks right through. the file intypes.h is located 
in /mplayer/etc, but it only references <sys/bitypes.h>

This file doesn't exist on MingW, it might be there on Cygwin but I 
suppose it's a "Linux thing".

You could try finding this and add it to your cygwin includes, but I 
doubt that will work flawlessly.
