1) If you want to change CFLAGS, do this. MPlayer will use them.

2) ./configure doesn't say "MPlayer will not compile" it says "may 
not compile", i.e. do it on your own risk without any comlains.

3) Use modern version of gcc. First of all it supports 
-march=native, which means that gcc will select architecture 
automatically for current host, gcc >= 4.2.0 supports native 
target. Or use gcc >= 4.3.0. It has core2 target, just for your 
CPU, and it has some new sweet optimizations.
