Gah, I feel stupid enough to not having looked at configure.log in the 
first place :P  That was the problem.  After fixing it with a ln -s, I 
get this:

   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRICreateDrawable'
   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRIAuthConnection'
   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRICloseConnection'
   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRICreateContext'
   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRIGetDeviceInfo'
   libAMDXvBA.so: undefined reference to `XF86DRIOpenConnection'

So I guess I have the wrong version of something.  This is of course not 
an mplayer problem.  I'll bug someone at Phoronix about it :)
