My mistake. That option is for running scripts, and make is not a script.
Look at the Makefile and see what it is trying to do. In my Makefile 
(Jul-10-2007), I have:

# rebuild at every config.h/config.mak/Makefile change:
version.h: config.h config.mak Makefile
	./version.sh `$(CC) -dumpversion`
CC shoud be equal to gcc, so type the following at the command line:
bash -x ./version.sh `gcc -dumpversion`
and you should get a better idea about what it is trying to do. On my 
system, I get the following output:

$ bash -x ./version.sh
+ test ''
++ LC_ALL=C
++ svn info
++ grep Revision
++ cut '-d ' -f2
+ svn_revision=24064
+ test 24064
+ test 24064
+ test 24064
+ NEW_REVISION='#define VERSION "dev-SVN-r24064"'
++ cat version.h
+ OLD_REVISION='#define VERSION "dev-SVN-r24064-4.2.1-sjlj"
#define MP_TITLE "MPlayer dev-SVN-r24064-4.2.1-sjlj (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer 
Team"'

+ TITLE='#define MP_TITLE "MPlayer dev-SVN-r24064 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer 
Team"'
+ test '#define VERSION "dev-SVN-r24064"' '!=' '#define VERSION 
"dev-SVN-r24064-
4.2.1-sjlj"
#define MP_TITLE "MPlayer dev-SVN-r24064-4.2.1-sjlj (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer 
Team"'

+ echo '#define VERSION "dev-SVN-r24064"'
+ echo '#define MP_TITLE "MPlayer dev-SVN-r24064 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer 
Team"'


Since you are having problems, I won't try to compile the current svn right 
now, although I suppose that I could easily revert to my working version.

I think so.

I think that the stylesheets are in docbook-xsl-xxx

Good question. If I encountered that error, I may have "fixed" it by using 
#ifdef or something, but I don't remember.

Perhaps you did not follow exactly the instructions for installing LIVE555. 
It is explained here:
http://www.live555.com/mplayer/
Also from the log, I see that configure was looking for LIVE in
-Ic:/mingw/include/freetype2/liveMedia/include

As for theora, you said that you had a problem with theora, so if theora was 
not built, then naturally support for theora will be disabled.
