No, it's definitely intentionally broken. I mean broken by the SDL
developers, not by mplayer. Apparently the official position is that
any program using SDL should only use ansi c lib and SDL calls, no
unix stuff, and this -mno-cygwin is justified. Of course this is
totally brain damaged, but that's what people say on #SDL... :((

Personally I just --disable-sdl.
