Thanks, the build now fails with:

libavutil/cpu.c:20:23: fatal error: stdatomic.h: No such file or directory
 #include <stdatomic.h>
                       ^
compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [libavutil/cpu.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/auerswald/Software/mplayer/ffmpeg'
make: *** [ffmpeg/libavutil/libavutil.a] Error 2

Directly above I see warnings for undefined constants
HAVE_ATOMIC_COMPARE_EXCHANGE, HAVE_ATOMICS_WIN32 and HAVE_ATOMICS_SUNCC
(just the atmics related stuff, as always there is a multitude of ffmpeg
configuration constants not defined by MPlayer).

nks,
Erik
