No, MP_TITLE *is* defined, via version.sh which creates version.h.
Certainly MPlayer compiles under Linux; I compiled it less than a week
ago, and the active developers compile it daily if not more often. Have
you run 'make distclean' before recompiling?

Rejected. MP_TITLE is supposed to be a generated string, whose value
cannot be determined before compile time. Hardcoding it is unacceptable.
