Not that I know of. newer Xcode seem to require 10.5.

I think it's just the project file that hasn't been maintained so that
it works with 10.3.
The main developer of mplayerosx probably doesn't have a machine with
an old xcode on it, that's all.
I doubt that gcc version matters. MPlayer compiles fine with gcc from xcode 1.5.

I just fixed that.

from my experience, it doesn't look like this switch is necessary
anymore, I'm gonna remove it.

Thanks for your feedback, thanks to you, the doc has slightly improved.
