(Well I'm sure some people can, but whether that's more likely than someone being stupid on purpose...) MPlayer needs quite a few headers that are not "basic". The configure output gives little information about which of the things checked for are really required or useful at all (some do more harm than good); even if you manage to get a binary it can be hard to know whether it's really a reasonable configuration or if the resulting player is missing some important functionality. If you're missing some dependency there's no information how to get it. Even if the dependencies are packaged for your distro it's nontrivial to find some of the right packages to install based on just configure output.
