I don't have a cross compiler on my linux system (and I couldn't find anything
like "arm-wrs-linux-gnueabi-armv5tel-glibc_small-gcc" using Google), so I can't
try myself, but I think a few answers may help:

You mention "Makefile from workspace-nokia770_layer-dist-mplayer" - does this
mean you use a patched Makefile, not the one provided by svn checkout?

Does the compilation succeed if you use --disable-live (or don't provide the
necessary include directory)?

What configure line are you using?

If I understand that correctly, you suspect the linking stage not using the
correct toolchain. Did you try to link manually by copying the line and changing
the beginning to use the correct path?
