-DLINUX is normal for opendivx, it's just the only alternative to WIN32.

So, I can say for sure:

There is at least ONE machine running Solaris on Sparc, that plays
DivX with ffdivx video and MP3 audio. That's the SUN here in front of me.
I tried around 10 files (it's a working machine normally), and never had
any problems. And I'm quite happy about it.

I compile Mplayer without extra option the first time, and now again 2
hours ago I had to #define LIBAVCODEC or what it's called in config.h
Just plain ./configure and gmake
I did not change any source code, neither mplayer nor libavcodec.
mplayer was CVS from today, libavcodec was from August 3rd (still included
in mplayer then)

Only change was vc=ffdivx and ao=sun  in config-file.

So I don't think there is a big/small endian problem with ffdivx, and if,
then only in the very latest version.
