(Depending on what you plan:)
That sounds like an exceptional bad idea.

Do you know what --disable-everything does?
If not, please remove it.

(And please remove "--disable-yasm", if it is needed, it would 
be a bug, please report it.)

This is not a good approach.

Instead, please report your build problems with MPlayer 
on mplayer-users so we at least know about them.
(And there is a chance they get fixed.)

Please do not top-post here, it is considered rude.
