  If I am not mistaken this is the changeset from Thomas:

  http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=revision&revision=404026

  This is the change to the Makefile patch which extends HOSTCFLAGS only:

  http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/mplayer/files/patch-Makefile?r1=404026&r2=404025&pathrev=404026

  There are more changes to configure and MPlayer's Makefile
in those patch files, I did not check all of them. Maybe Thomas
can clarify?

  I would favour this solutions too.
