This does not look like the complete output to me. If compilation really
fails during linking, you should use

	make distclean

before compiling, so no old files lay around. Or try a new clean
checkout from CVS.

If compilation does not fail, it is one of this linker warning you can
ignore.

How should MPlayer know, you don't want X11? Quartz does not imply no
X11 for me. But yes, it probably only makes sense for a developer to
compare output systems.

Things have changed since November ;o)
