It turns out that except for that apparent bug in GAS that makes it unable to handle nested parentheses, if your PATH is POSIX-compliant (so that /usr/xpg4/bin is at the head of your path, so that sh is POSIX-compliant), the current mplayer in Subversion compiles as is. That's the way I like things to work.
Since I prefer mplayer to VLC anyway, I'm not going to bother trying to get VLC to compile. But it will be interesting to see how soon VLC compiles on OpenSolaris as easily as mplayer does. The README in extras/contrib states "This is the contrib build system for VLC Media Player. It has been primarily developed for Mac, it has been adapted for BeOs and win32. It would be not too difficult to extend it to other sytem." It would seem that that would be a good place to start.
