MPlayer wouldn't have picked those incompatible flags. I just know that
pkg-config is used by a couple of libraries. I had noticed such flags whenever
compiling against Gtk+ 2.x. So I just grepped for these flags in
/usr/pkg/lib/pkgconfig and found the culprit.

Maybe your patch should be applied anyway but you could also ask the
MPlayer developers about this.

MPlayer is pretty much the only package I know of which has problems
with this. It might be best to strip -m*/-f*/-O* from CFLAGS just for
MPlayer at least by default.
