Ok moving --prefix from common_options to mplayer_options did help some.
But I am running into some more issues.

make -j 4 doesn't appear to work right, make -j 1 is a workaround

libass does not seem to pick up values from the common_options. I'm
trying to build a 32bit mplayer on a 64bit machine (mainly so I can use
the additional codecs) and so I have placed this in my common_options

- --cc=gcc -m32
- --as=as --32

ffmpeg_options is blank

mplayer_options has this
- --target=i386-linux
- --prefix=/usr

When I build mplayer from SVN I use this and it works great.
./configure --target=i386-linux --cc="gcc -m32" --as="as --32"
- --prefix=/usr

So when I build using git, libass is still built in 64bit mode, which
then will not link with the 32bit mplayer. I tried putting --target in
the common options and ffmpeg would not configure with that in there.

I have attached a python version of libass-config, but since I have not
figured out what options to use to build it in 32bit mode I'm still
kinda stuck. libass does not seem to like the --cc and --as options.

Hope this is clear as to what I am trying to do.

Kevin
