This is a build option that you certainly don't want (since you are not first
one to use it, I wonder where it comes from).
Additionally note that the only compilation method actually supported on this
list is ./configure && make

If you have the Nvidia binary drivers installed, you do not need xv. (And I am
really surprised that to compile and use them, libvdpau-dev is needed. I thought
libvdpau-dev (as enable-runtime-cpudetection) is only useful for distributions.)
