That is exactly the right part, just that you should not have used
--enable-aa during the last configure run before examining configure.log
Then it should look similar to this:

============ Checking for AA ============

#include <aalib.h>
extern struct aa_hardware_params aa_defparams;
extern struct aa_renderparams aa_defrenderparams;
int main(void) {
aa_context *c;
aa_renderparams *p;
(void) aa_init(0, 0, 0);
c = aa_autoinit(&aa_defparams);
p = aa_getrenderparams();
aa_autoinitkbd(c,0);
return 0; }

cc -g2 -W -Wall -Wno-unused-parameter -O4 -march=x86-64  -pipe
-ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer  -I/usr/X11R6/include     -lncurses
-lsmbclient   -lXext -lX11 -lpthread -lXv -lXvMC -lXvMCNVIDIA -lXinerama
-lXxf86vm -lXxf86dga -lGL -ldl -lggi  -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-30011-1076.o
/tmp/mplayer-conf-1486-1076.c -laa


Result is: yes
