 I will answer your "questions" by giving the corresponding parts from configure.log. The
file has 3195 lines so it makes no sense to include it in the body of this message.

I can privately send you the file for the reason explained above.

No this is not true:

OK I have figured this out.

>Apart from that, the "obvious" solution is to compile with --disable-mp3lib


This is not a real solution, but if everything else will fail it is a reasonable solution.
