[MPlayer-users] Update: New PPC X.4.9 compiling problems

UPDATE.. it turns out i answered my own questions with the intel  
machine.. but this leaves me with additional problems with my PPC  
machine (g5) running the same OS which i most definitely cannot crack.

the problem quoted below this body was solved with the two flags :
--disable-freetype --disable-fontconfig
after applying these flags mplayer compiled and ran smoothly on my  
intel macbook.

unfortunately, however, these flags did not result in successful  
compilation on my g5 tower!

here's the NEW console output from the g5, (linked in via wiki) to  
save space on the mailing list:

i tried making a text file out of the enabled and disabled lines from  
both configs and diff-ing them to find a possible extra that would be  
the culprit, but no luck.. they both have the exact same (user  
visible) config! (except the one that successfully compiled on intel  
actually has usable win32dll options)

i've tried --disable-gl, as that's helped with similar PPC error  
flags before, but no luck.
anyway..

Anyone know how to fix this issue? what flags i should be using with  
my poor g5?


For reference to my previous problem:
