MPlayer does not build out of tree. I was wrong to assume that FFmpeg also does not build out of tree. I have cross-compiled both FFmpeg and MPlayer. My point was that different sets of flags are used to do that, so custom build scripts need to be written for each of ffmpeg and mplayer. Cross compiling most other software can be done with a generic script because all projects using GNU autotools have consistent configure flags.
