Only suspicions:
swab is defined in string.h instead of unistd.h, but MPlayer configure only
checks in unistd.h
http://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2000/msg00247.html
Does the following line after the 'define_statement_check' line in the
'echocheck "swab()"' section help?
define_statement_check "A A" "string.h" 'int a, b; swab(&a, &b, 0)' && _swab=yes
(And could you add the 'Checking for swab()' section of config.log?)

Why? (configure should pick it up automatically for you.)
