The problem is most likely that they can't compile some ASM due to using an ancient (6 years or so old) binutils version, it only works if you install a newer gcc (the default gcc cannot be made to use a different binutils without horrible hacks).
I changed MPlayer to refuse to compile on such broken setups, though I have some doubts it will get the message across (though for FreeBSD 8 binutils are updated at least).
