Mplayer plugin on Solaris/SPARC

First, I have a tiny issue to configure/compile on Solaris Nevada.

Solaris make does not understand -C and the makefile also does not
allow you to substitute gmake because it is hard coded to use make.

At the end, please find a patch to correct this issue and make it
confure and build with more makes or with make specified in the environment.


Secondly, I have a problem with solely manifests itself on SPARC.
When I install the GTK based plugins, the plugin will start but the
mplayer window will have size 0; audio will be played but no image
is display.  When I resize the window with a small command line tool
(it cannot be grabbed using a window manager so I needed to write
a small tool to resize a window by ID) the message start being display.
In some cases, it start to display when switching back and forth between
full-screen and normal mode; but that is not a given.

On Solaris/x86 the code works "just fine".  The only difference
that I can think of is a difference between a Solaris Xorg on x86 and
Solaris Xsun on SPARC.

But that cannot be the complete explanation as the GTK plugins
display correctly when shown remotely from Solaris/x86 to Solaris/SPARC
Xsun and incorrectly when displayed from Solaris/SPARC to Solaris/x86.
So this clearly looks like a client side thing (endian issue?) and not
an X server issue.  (Same version of mplayer and 3.45 plugin on both)

Anyway, here's the patch:
