[MPlayer-users] Error building mplayer w/ Xvid on Solaris 10

FFmpeg works; I've checked the situation more thoroughly now, and indeed 
it seems that the relevant block in libxvidff.c shouldn't even be 
compiled under Solaris. But the check for mkstemp() fails in ./configure 
(not for FFmpeg, but for mplayer).

The relevant section in config.log:

[...]
============ Checking for mkstemp ============ 

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
#include <stdlib.h> 
         int main(void) { mkstemp(""); return 0; }

Result is: no

What bothers me a bit is the _XOPEN_SOURCE level that is requested here; 
for c99, I would assume 600 to be appropriate.

That is true.
