If I don't rename xvidcore.a to libxvidcore.a then the mplayer configure 
doesn't find xvid (at least with the --enable-static option, I haven't tested 
without it). 

(If compiling with mingw instead of cygwin, the configure does find it, but 
then the binary depends on xvidcore.dll, so I also had to rename it to avoid 
it).

Anyway I finally fixed the problem by editing src/plugins/plugin_2pass1.c and 
commenting the line:

DPRINTF(XVID_DEBUG_RC, "Error closing stats file (%s)", strerror(errno));
