Something like
--target=i686-mingw32
should work.
I've been using --target=athlon64-mingw32.
You also need to set mno-cygwin both for cflags and ldflags (and of course use gcc-3).
I know it works, I just don't have my configure line at hand.
gcc4 does not work because it no longer defines _WIN32 for cygwin, which MPlayer currently
assumes.
