Someone on the MPlayer-users list (subject: failed to compile mplayer(cvs) 
with xvid) had the same problem. Apply the most recent patch, then run 
configure and make.

I successfully built without disabling anything. My options were 
--enable-static --enable-debug=3 --with-codecsdir=codecs 
--with-livelibdir=<path-to-live555-folder>
