Greg, I've fixed and keyworded all the prerequisites of mplayer for
'~ppc-aix' now, but not mplayer itself:

The first problem is that GNU 'uname -p' gives 'unknown' for the
cpu-type, while '/bin/uname -p' correctly states 'powerpc' - so
mplayer's configure correctly detects 'ppc' architecture and does its
job if you (temporarily) remove $EPREFIX/usr/bin/uname and
$EPREFIX/bin/uname. This really should be fixed in GNU coreutils.

But when compiling, there are some assembler errors:
        line 23: Instruction stvx is not implemented in the current assembly mode PPC.

After some searching, the native (aix5.3 here) assembler would accept
this with '-m970', but gcc doesn't support this earlier than in gcc-4.3
on aix5.3, and only with '-mcpu=970' or '-mcpu=G5'.

Will leave mplayer for now, although it _is_ designed to basically work
on ppc-aix.
