Can you check if your *.a files are compiled for ARM architecture
(using 'readelf -h somefile.a'). Maybe you tried to compile the same
sources for x86 before and have some stale *.a files remaining?

Anyway, I would suggest you to try a fresh mplayer SVN checkout first. I 
did not have any troubles building it with ARM crosscompiler a few weeks
ago. Also a patch with your local modifications (are so many changes
really needed?) would be much easier to analyze instead of a handful
of files you have attached.
